Tagebuch

“My German aunt’s diary (Tagebuch) decorated by hand and full of postcards,letters, cuttings, maps, and travel permits, written in handwriting impossible to read, was the inspiration for ‘No Way Home’. My mum’s diary, on the other hand, was a drab, brown notebook detailing her experiences during 1945, written in tiny writing on days when there were moments of calm. The translation of these diaries forms the basis of the book.”
