Overview
The Dutch writer, artist and film maker Armando has lived in Berlin since 1979. Armando grew up near Amersfoort concentration camp in The Netherlands - its peripheries were his playground - and he was deeply affected by his position as a witness of the Holocaust. He has become obsessed with the unofficial histories of the war found in Berlin's streets and in the overheard fragments of its inhabitants' conversations. Armando's writings powerfully evoke these traces of the past and his search for them. In the first translation of Armando's literary writings into English, From Berlin gathers Armando's observations of Berlin and the voices of those who lived through the Second World War in a work that is moving and disturbing, and at the same time full of bleak humour.
