About This Book

Rumänien 1945: Der Zweite Weltkrieg ist zu Ende. Die deutsche Bevölkerung lebt in Angst. "Es war 3 Uhr in der Nacht zum 15. Januar 1945, als die Patrouille mich holte. Die Kälte zog an, es waren -15° C." So beginnt ein junger Mann den Bericht über seine Deportation in ein Lager nach Russland. Anhand seines Lebens erzählt Herta Müller von dem Schicksal der deutschen Bevölkerung in Siebenbürgen.
