Never read such a touching story about the Jews in Germany of the late thirties of the last century in such a short novella, almost a long story.
Reunion is a brilliant tale centred around two school going friends one a commoner Jew and another Christian from a royal family that believed that Fuhrer is their saviour not knowing that his ambitions will destroy the world.
At one point the author quotes someone "death undermines our confidence in life by showing that in the end everything is equally futile before the final darkness".. I love this quote that is the most impacting sentence in this 92 page story that one can read in about 3 hours.
