Title: An intriguing story of Nazi Germany
Product review: "Address Unknown," by Kathrine Kressman Taylor, was first published in "Story" magazine in 1938. This story (or short novel, if you prefer) is told in the form of letters between two characters: Max Eisenstein, an American Jew; and his friend Martin Schulse, a German who has returned home after having lived in the United States. The letters span the years 1932-34, and touch on the rise of Hitler and on the Shoah, or Holocaust.The 2001 Washington Square Press edition of the book contains a fascinating foreword by Charles Douglas Taylor, the author's son; he discusses the story's publication history and offers some biographical data on the author.I found this book to be an intriguing piece of fiction. The letters begin on a friendly note, but tension soon rises. There are also chillinging twists to the plot. Recommended reading, especially for those with an interest in fiction of the World War II and pre-war era.
