Meer over het boek
In the spring of 1945, as the Russian army advanced towards the village of Rechnitz, Countess Margit Batthyány hosted one final party in her ancestral home. Around midnight, the guests - German aristocrats and SS officers - left the mansion and shot 180 Jewish workers waiting in the village bellow. The bodies disappeared into a mass grave: the massacre remained secret for decades, until Countess Margit's great -nephew Sacha began to ask questions. This is the story of those questions, and of the answers Sacha Batthyány found. It is a story of Auschwitz, of the gulags of Siberia, of Budapest in the darkest days of the cold war; and of whole generations of Europeans, monsters and heroes, executioners and victims
