Hugo Fischer, a well-known criminologist, comes to conduct an investigation—at Christmas in 1943. In Auschwitz.
The previous ten years Hugo spent in Berlin, where what happened in the concentration camps was largely ignored: terrible rumors circulated around the city, of course, but surely sensible people won’t believe rumors, right? And now Hugo is confronted with horror that he, a non-evil man who is absolutely not a fighter, was completely unprepared for.
Meanwhile, the Berlin authorities are interested in one specific death that occurred where death had become grim everyday routine: a doctor was found dead—one who performed experiments on prisoners. And he was found by an eight-year-old boy—Dr. Josef Mengele’s ward, a young talented artist who had the skill and presence of mind to immediately sketch what he saw.
A Jewish child from Bologna, a criminologist from Berlin’s criminal police with something to hide—what kind of strange duet could this be as they investigate a strange death in a terrible land? And there’s a whole crowd of possible suspects, each hiding their own secret. Oriana Ramunno has written a detective thriller based on her Holocaust research—an incredible, yet brilliantly successful move. «The Boy Who Drew Shadows» is «The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas», if Jean-Christophe Grangé had written it: a tense detective intrigue, a believable historical backdrop, the banality of evil, and the possibility of resisting it in those regions where hope left long ago. Ramunno drew on sources including the biography of her cousin, who was in a death camp and remembered that even in that hell, even among guards, there were people who had the courage to remain human and resist. First time in Russian!
