Pater familias: Het verhaal van mijn familie en de gangsters

The blending of personal memoir with crime history adds a unique depth. I'm curious how the author decided to structure the narrative this way.

The memoir made me sympathize with family members caught in difficult circumstances, but also made me uneasy about the legacy of crime. How did others feel about this duality?

Understanding the research process behind this story would be fascinating. Did the author rely more on oral histories or archival records?
