World War II
Two powerful novels confront the shadows of the Second World War and the Holocaust from strikingly different perspectives. The Mystery of Eva Braun imagines the private diary and inner life of Hitler’s companion, exploring loyalty, ambition, complicity, and willful blindness. The Room of Names follows Dr. Jakob Elias, a Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist in postwar Cologne, whose troubled patient, Dr. Viktor Reiss, carries buried memories and devastating guilt. Blending historical research with fiction, we ask how ordinary people become entangled in evil, whether truth can overcome denial, and what justice, remembrance, and moral responsibility demand when war has ended.

In postwar Cologne, Dr. Jakob Elias, a Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist, treats patients haunted by memories they cannot escape. When the respected Dr. Viktor Reiss enters his consulting room with a trembling hand and carefully guarded past, Jakob begins uncovering a wider circle of complicity. Anna Keller typed the records. Otto Brenner kept the numbers. Franz Weber guarded the doors. Pastor Albrecht remained silent. Each insists they were only performing a task. The Room of Names is a novel about guilt, denial, trauma, and accountability, asking whether truth can deliver justice without allowing memory to become another instrument of cruelty.
History remembers Eva Braun as Adolf Hitler’s hidden companion, but almost nothing is known of her inner life. The Mystery of Eva Braun imagines the discovery of a secret diary in the ruins of the Führerbunker and gives voice to the woman behind the photographs. Grounded in historical events yet fictional, the novel follows Eva from a Munich photography studio to the final days of the Third Reich. Through love, ambition, denial, loyalty, and willful blindness, the story explores a haunting question: how does an ordinary person remain beside extraordinary evil, and what stories must she tell herself to stay?
