«Schuhhaus Pallas» is Amelie Fried's family account of her family in the Nazi era, published by Heyne Verlag in paperback (208 pages, in German).
Amelie Fried investigates why her father, an influential press editor from Ulm, remained silent all his life about Nazism. To explain it, she reconstructs the story of her grandfather, an Austrian Jew who owned the shoe store Schuhhaus Pallas: persecuted after 1933, he lost relatives in the concentration camps and barely managed to survive. The book, written also for the author's children, passes on to new generations the memory of a family that resisted in silence.
For readers interested in historical memory, Nazism and family stories of resistance.
