Heidegger's Glasses

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of a crumbling Germany at the end of World War II, the narrative explores the intersection of philosophy and the horrors of the Holocaust. An underground group of scribes-translators grapples with the task of responding to letters sent to victims of concentration camps. The arrival of a letter from philosopher Martin Heidegger to his optometrist, now lost in Auschwitz, raises profound ethical questions about memory, loss, and the human condition. The story delves into the complexities of language and the weight of history.
