«Der Apfelbaum» is the historical and family novel by Christian Berkel, published by Ullstein in paperback (416 pages, in German).
In Berlin in 1932, Sala, from a Jewish intellectual family, and Otto, from a working-class background, fall in love. Nazi persecution separates them: she experiences exile and internment in France; he, the war as a doctor. The author reconstructs the true story of his parents across three generations and several countries, up to Buenos Aires.
To document it, Christian Berkel consulted archives, read letters and traveled; the cover of this edition includes a quote from Daniel Kehlmann.
For readers of historical fiction and family sagas about World War II, Nazism and Jewish exile.
