“This is not a book I will forget any time soon. The story and the questions stay with me.” Story Circle Book Reviews Moving and provocative, Api’s Berlin Diaries offers a personal perspective on the fall of Berlin 1945 and the far-reaching aftershocks of the Third Reich. After her mother’s death, Robinson found her grandfather’s diaries and discovered that he had been a member of the Nazi party. Her award-winning memoir juxtaposes her grandfather’s harrowing account serving as doctor in the ruins of Berlin with her memories of his loving protection after the war and raises disturbing questions about the political responsibility we all carry as individuals.
"As a record of post-war tribulation, Api’s Berlin Diaries is a poignant social history; as a search for an elusive, multifaceted grandfather, it’s a fascinating labyrinth." 5/5stars
