«Der Aufenthalt» is the novel by Hermann Kant, published by Luchterhand in hardcover (599 pages, in German).
In the autumn of 1945, a Polish woman believes she recognizes among the prisoners of war the SS man who killed her daughter. The young German soldier she points out is arrested and interrogated without understanding why; the novel tells how, even though innocent of that specific crime, he ends up assuming his share of guilt in the war.
The first edition dates from 1977; the work's subtitle is «Roman». The author, Hermann Kant (1926-2016), was a German writer linked to the GDR.
For readers of German fiction who want a critical look at war and collective guilt.
