About the book: 2024 / For many years after the end of the war, most Germans, separated from their loved ones by it, dreamed of family reunification and a normal life. But private life behind the doors of houses did not become the island of peace that these people so longed for. The incident left a deep imprint on the daily lives of families. Fathers and husbands became different after the war and captivity. Their children grew up and were brought up in an atmosphere of silence, hints and severity. In the end, the generational conflict turned into street riots. Florian Huber describes the post-war family drama from the point of view and on behalf of these people. Among them we see a front-line soldier leading a double life who returned from the war, a young mother entangled in her own secrets, a schoolboy who exposed his parents’ lies, a girl who dared to rebel against the rudeness of her martinet father. In the destinies that tell about the world, which was not touched by the optimism of the restoration society, the dark depths and bottomless abysses of that era are palpably felt.
