Product Description

The Dutch writer, artist and film-maker, Armando, who has lived in Berlin since 1979, grew up near Amersfoort concentration camp in The Netherlands. He was deeply affected by the Holocaust, and has become obsessed with the unofficial histories of the war found in Berlin's streets and in the overheard fragments of its inhabitants' conversations. This book incorporates his observations of the city and the voices of those who lived through World War II. The living presence of a disappearing past, the city and its inhabitants, tell stories different from the official history and its monuments.

5.0 out of 5 stars if you are interested in either WW2 or Berlin, READ THIS!, 28 July 1998

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: From Berlin (Topographics) (Paperback)

Armando is a Dutch writer and artist who grew up near a concentration camp. He has been fascinated by the War his entire life. This book is very unusual - part journal, part transcriptions of interviews with elderly people in Berlin, part historical commentary. I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone who is interested in either WW2 or Berlin. I've never read anything at all like it. Couldn't put it down.
