Two authors, both granddaughters of Nazis reflect upon themes raised by their family legacies: trying to understand versus the danger of normalizing extremism, forgiveness and responsibility, memory and truth, and what the third generation can contribute when it comes to understanding the historical significance of the Holocaust. Julie Lindahl interviews novelist Jessica Shattuck, "The Women in the Castle."

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will intervew Jessica Shattuck, Author of The Women in the Castle. Set at the end of World War II, in a crumbling Bavarian castle that once played host to all of German high society, a powerful and propulsive story of three widows whose lives and fates become intertwined—an affecting, shocking, and ultimately redemptive novel from the author of the New York Times Notable Book The Hazards of Good Breeding First, Marianne rescues six-year-old Martin, the son of her dearest childhood friend, from a Nazi reeducation home. Together, they make their way across the smoldering wreckage of their homeland to Berlin, where Martin's mother, the beautiful and naïve Benita, has fallen into the hands of occupying Red Army soldiers. Then she locates Ania, another resistor's wife, and her two boys, now refugees languishing in one of the many camps that house the millions displaced by the war.  As Marianne assembles this makeshift family from the ruins of her husband's resistance movement, she is certain their shared pain and circumstances will hold them together. But she quickly discovers that the black-and-white, highly principled world of her privileged past has become infinitely more complicated, filled with secrets and dark passions that threaten to tear them apart. Eventually, all three women must come to terms with the choices that have defined their lives before, during, and after the war—each with their own unique share of challenges.

Meet our first subject in our 20-part Generation X series where we hope to discover emerging ideas around us from the generation author Douglas Coupland called "Fantastical Creators and Heartfelt Storytellers" in his sleeper novel, GenerationX: Tales for an Accelerated Culture – those born between 1965 to 1980. You know, that tiny but mighty band of irreverent, anti-hero makers and doers hovering around their forties. These, the ones suffocating between the Boomers and their Millennial offspring, who absorb most of everything. At this moment in time, we think GenX idealism – grounded in a reality that bites – may just save us. Jess Shattuck's much-anticipated third novel, The Women in the Castle, revolves around the lives of three wives of resistors in Nazi Germany during World War II. Shattuck, best known for her novels The Hazards of Good Breeding and The Perfect Life, grew up in Cambridge with a German-born mother who had immigrated to America, shunning her nation and her own parents' dark past as Nazi sympathizers. Memories of her mother's shame have stayed with Shattuck long after her mother's sudden death left many of her questions unanswered when Shattuck was a teenager. It has taken her seven years to research and write this novel, with years spent traveling to Germany and combing through material to research this historical piece of fiction in which she explores the normalization of fascism in a society, and the moral fiber it takes to stand up to it and hold on to what is humane and true.

As we commemorate HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, we visit with two authors best known for their Holocaust historical fiction, New York Times bestselling author Pam Jenoff and New York Times Notable Author and PEN finalist Jessica Shattuck. For Pam Jenoff it all began with the astonishing success of her THE KOMMANDANT'S GIRL the World War II heartwrenching, Quill-nominated International Bestseller. Many successful books later she comes to us with her new title, THE ORPHAN'S TALE, already on the New York Times Bestseller List. THE ORPHAN'S TALE is set amid the unconventional world of a traveling circus, the novel bringing together two women—both refugees from their own pasts and each attempting to live under the radar during the Nazi incursion. Drawing on a little a little-known, real-life Nazi-run program, the Lebensborn Program, in which Jewish babies were ripped from their families and sent by train to concentration camps and the circuses of the era that sheltered Jews during the War, THE ORPHAN'S TALE exposes the light in the shadows of World War II.Author Jessica Shattuck's grandparents were Nazi's. She admitted the truth in a recent New York Times op ed. “My grandparents were Nazis,” Shattuck wrote. “It took me until recently to be able to say — or write — this.” It was when Shattuck came upon a picture of her grandfather in his Nazi uniform that Shattuck could no longer deny the truth, even though she had had and loved her grandmother who Shattuck says did not seem temperamentally suited to hate. Understanding why and how this woman Shattuck knew and loved was swept up in a movement that became synonymous with evil led to Shattuck's writing her gripping new novel THE WOMEN IN THE CASTLE. Turbulent, disturbing, fraught, haunting, THE WOMEN IN THE CASTLE provides rarely seen insight into the lives of ordinary Germans during the Nazi era, providing a perspective rarely examined in the voluminous literature of the Second World War. Nazi, Germany, World War II, historical fiction, The Holocaust, Jewish literature two interesting conversations with bestselling authors Pam Jenoff and Jessica Shattuck on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today we are happy to have with us Jessica Shattuck author of The Women In the Castle published in March by William Morrow. Jessica’s previous work includes her novel The Hazards of Good Breeding, a NYT Notable Book. Her fiction has appeared in The New Yorker, Glamour and many other periodicals. Her non-fiction has appeared in the Times, Mother Jones, Wired and the Globe. The Women In The Castle explores the lives of three survivors of Hitler’s Germany. Marianne, Benita and Ania. Marianne is the natural leader. A righteous woman bound by a promise made to a hero, a man who wished to see his country remain a free and just one who decides to attempt to assassinate Adolph Hitler. An attempt that failed and that led to his hanging as well as Albrecht’s, Marianne’s husband and hundreds of others including Ania’s husband as well. Now Marianne is responsible for bringing the women and their children together to her castle where they attempt to rebuild lives. An attempt that also fails in part, fails in part because it is an enormous task but also because each of the women, just like each of us, is not necessarily what they seem or what we expect them to be. This dynamic drives the novel and pushes and pulls us many ways at once. Jessica places the reader in a precarious position (always a good thing) where we have to work out for ourselves who is right, who is wrong, who is absolved and who isn’t, who is on the right side of things. The novel is emboldened and elevated by the dilemmas it poses to us but it is also driven forward with sheer energy and a story that captivates from the Prologue to the epilogue.

Women In The Castle took Jessica Shattuck seven years to write, and draws on her ambivalence about her German ancestry. Set at the end of World War II, in a crumbling Bavarian castle, this historical novel dwells on characters who are neither victims nor heroes, but who must come to terms with the choices that have defined their lives.

The Hazards of Good Breeding (Norton) Jessica Shattuck skewers the narrow-minded prejudices of the Boston aristocracy. How did Shattuck, the daughter of a liberal lawyer and niece of a prominent literary critic, find the tenderness and insight necessary to give her characters human depth?
