"Der Vorleser" by Julius Ehrentraut is a novel that explores themes of guilt, betrayal, and the aftermath of the Holocaust in post-war Germany. The narrative follows the story of Michael Berg, a German lawyer who, as a teenager in the late 1950s, has an affair with an older woman, Hanna Schmitz. Years later, Michael is shocked to discover that Hanna was a former SS guard at Auschwitz during World War II. The novel delves into the complexities of the characters' emotions and the difficult moral questions that arise from their past actions.

The book is structured in three parts, each dealing with different stages of Michael's life and his evolving understanding of Hanna's past and his own feelings. The first part focuses on his teenage years and the beginning of his relationship with Hanna. The second part follows Michael as a law student observing Hanna's trial for war crimes, which forces him to confront the horrors of the Holocaust and the ethical implications of Hanna's actions and his relationship with her. The third part deals with Michael's life after the trial, his struggles with his personal history, and his attempts to come to terms with his past and that of his country.

"Der Vorleser" raises important questions about responsibility, memory, and the possibility of redemption. It also examines the impact of historical events on individual lives and the moral complexities involved in the relationship between the generations that lived through the war and those born after. The novel has been praised for its deep psychological insight and its careful handling of sensitive historical issues.
