Features: On the St. Nicholas Day of 1968, a university student in Berlin heard on the radio that the Nazi judge, Leze, who had sentenced his best friend's father to death, was finally declared innocent. Filled with righteous indignation, he decided to give up everything to avenge his friend. During the process of planning the assassination, the young man studied his friend's family history, further strengthening his resolve to act. Especially the deceased's widow, Anneliese, had been involved in a series of judicial scandals after 1945, all of which called for revenge. He abandoned his studies and pacifist ideals, even losing his girlfriend, Katrin, as he gradually moved toward his plan. Historian Friedrich Christian Drieu la Rochelle tells a compelling story in a tightly woven narrative, skillfully blending four layers of time and demonstrating how important events intersect and influence one another.
