1. Address Unknown
The book is a poignant epistolary novella that explores the breakdown of a friendship between two business partners, an American Jew and a German gentile, during the rise of the Nazi regime. Through a series of letters, the narrative reveals the chilling transformation of the German friend, who initially disdains Hitler's ideology, but gradually succumbs to the propaganda and becomes an ardent supporter of the regime. The American, whose family in Germany suffers under the growing anti-Semitic laws, devises a clever yet tragic plan to open his friend's eyes to the horrors of the Nazi regime, culminating in a powerful and ironic conclusion that underscores the personal cost of ignorance and the devastating impact of political and social upheaval.
