A bracing meditation on the nature of evil and a moving evocation of the human heart, "Siegfried" is one of Harry Mulischas 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 Hitleras Bavarian retreat in the waning years of the war, they were witness to the jealously guarded birth of Siegfriedathe 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.
