Wenn die Kühe heimkehren

In dieser mitreißenden Familiensaga entfaltet sich das Leben von fünf bayerischen Familien vor dem Hintergrund des 20. Jahrhunderts, von 1937 bis 2020. Im Mittelpunkt der Geschichte stehen Herman Finkelstein, ein jüdischer Professor, und seine Frau Merla Finkelstein, deren tragisches Schicksal während des Holocaust die Weichen für die folgenden Generationen stellt. Ihre Nachkommen, die 1943 in die Schweiz flohen und dort von lutherischen Familien adoptiert wurden, haben nur eine vage Vorstellung von ihrem jüdischen Erbe.Die Handlung spielt hauptsächlich in den bayerischen Orten Berchtesgaden und Oberstdorf, führt aber auch in die Schweiz und nach Israel, während Deutschland mit seiner komplexen Vergangenheit und dem Gespenst des Antisemitismus ringt. Beide Zweige der Finkelstein-Nachkommen sind durch ihre Hinterwälder-Rinderherden miteinander verbunden, eine Verbindung, die sie nach zwei Generationen der Trennung schließlich wieder zusammenführt und sich das ganze Ausmaß ihrer jüdischen Abstammung entfaltet.Der Roman thematisiert nicht nur die tiefgreifenden Auswirkungen des Holocaust, sondern ist auch ein reichhaltiges Stück Sozialgeschichte, das zeigt, wie das Leben gewöhnlicher Menschen durch Krieg, politische Umwälzungen und kulturelle Veränderungen geprägt wird.

When the Cows Come Home

In this sweeping family saga, the lives of five Bavarian German families unfold against the backdrop of the twentieth century, spanning from 1937 to 2020. At the heart of the story are Herman Finkelstein, a Jewish professor, and his wife Merla Finkelstein, whose tragic fate during the Holocaust sets the stage for the generations that follow. Their descendants, adopted by Lutheran families after escaping to Switzerland in 1943, have only a vague understanding of their Jewish heritage. The narrative is centered around the Bavarian towns of Berchtesgaden and Oberstdorf, but also ventures to Switzerland and Israel as Germany grapples with its complex past and the specter of antisemitism. Both branches of the Finkelstein descendants find themselves connected through their herds of Hinterwalder cattle, a bond that ultimately brings them together after two generations of separation. Through the purchase of a Hinterwalder bull, the families are reunited and uncover the full extent of their Jewish ancestry. While the novel explores the profound impact of the Holocaust, it also serves as a rich social history, illustrating how the ordinary lives of individuals are shaped by war, political upheaval, and cultural shifts.
