Der Anfang der Welt

The mix of magic and history creates a surreal atmosphere that feels both authentic and fantastical. I'm curious what inspired this choice and how it shaped the storytelling.

The novel captures the horrors of the Holocaust but also moments of resilience and love. How did the author balance these contrasting themes without diminishing the weight of the history?

The interconnected stories added richness but also complexity. I wonder if the author mapped out these relationships beforehand or let them evolve naturally during writing.
