From Things Lost

Set against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied Germany, the narrative follows Rudolf Schwab, who escapes to South Africa in 1933, urged by a friend who later aligns with the Nazis. Years later, he rekindles a correspondence with this former friend, exploring themes of displacement, survival, and the complexities of their unlikely friendship. The story is enriched by a remarkable collection of letters found in a forgotten trunk, illuminating personal histories and the lasting impact of the Holocaust.
