Gotz and Meyer Thoughts

[Caro]

This book turned out to be completely unexpected. From the description I thought that Gotz and Meyer would turn out to be in this Professors family and we would follow his class as they discovered the horrors of the Holocaust. Reading this, I felt more like we were following a man slowly getting crazier and crazier. The fact that it was totally continuous, without chapters or even any kind of break made me feel like I was going crazy along with him, or at least experiencing some part of it. It seemed that he was having some sort of midlife crisis because he mentioned a couple of times his age and being the last in his family since he never had any kids. The fact that we never find out anything about his identity I think is a comparison between him and Gotz&Meyer. I really enjoyed the way that this was written and how the Professor goes between Gotz and Meyer and mentions both when he's talking about them because ti really drives in just how little he actually was able to find out about the two men that drove so many people to their deaths. It was unlike any book that I've ever read about the Holocaust but I think one of the most impactful.
