A bracing meditation on the nature of evil and a moving evocation
of the human heart, Siegfried is one of Harry Mulisch's most
powerful novels. After a reading of his work, renowned Dutch author
Rudolf Herter, who had recently commented in a television interview
that it may be only through fiction that the uniquely evil figure
of Adolf Hitler can be truly comprehended, is approached by an
elderly couple. The pair reveal that as domestic servants in
Hitler's Bavarian retreat in the waning years of the war, they were
witness to the jealously guarded birth of Siegfried-the son of
Hitler and Eva Braun. For more than fifty years they have kept
silent about the child they once raised as their own. Only now and
only to Herter are they willing to reveal their astonishing story.
