Il "Diario" di Etty Hillesum ha commosso i lettori di tutto il mondo, ed è ormai considerato fra le testimonianze più alte delle vittime della persecuzione nazista. Ora l. a. versione integrale delle "Lettere", scritte in gran parte dal lager di Westerbork – dove Etty andò di sua spontanea volontà, in keeping with portare soccorso e amore agli internati, e in line with «aiutare Dio» a non morire in loro –, ci permette di udire los angeles sua voce fino all'ul­timo, fino alla cartolina gettata dal vagone merci che l. a. conduce advert Auschwitz: «Ab­biamo lasciato il campo cantando». A Wes­terbork Etty vive «l'inferno degli altri», senza «illusioni eroiche», recando parole vere là dove il linguaggio è degradato a gergo, là dove i fossati del rancore dividono gli stessi prigionieri, contrapponendo ebrei olandesi a ebrei tedeschi. los angeles resistenza al male si compie in lei attraverso l'amicizia – nata nel campo o mantenuta viva con chi è rimasto libero e manda viveri e lettere –, attraverso los angeles fede e grazie ai libri (come le poesie di Rilke) e alla natura: anche sopra le baracche corrono le nuvole e volano i gabbiani e brilla l'Orsa Maggiore. in line with scrivere los angeles storia del lager ci sarebbe voluto un poeta, non bastava l. a. nuda cronaca, aveva detto un giorno un internato a Etty. Non sapeva che quel poema stava già prendendo forma, lettera dopo lettera. E che, da quel fazzoletto di brughiera recintata e battuta da turbini di sabbia, sarebbe giunto fi­no a noi rompendo un silenzio di decenni.

Dieses Buch füllt eine Lücke in der Jahrhundertchronik der Manns. Es gibt viele Darstellungen der komplizierten Vater-Sohn-Beziehung zwischen Thomas Mann und seinem ältesten Sohn Klaus, und auch über die ungleichen Brüder Heinrich und Thomas ist schon oft geschrieben worden. Weitgehend unerforscht blieb bisher die Beziehung zwischen Heinrich Mann und seinem Neffen Klaus – obwohl diese beiden eine große politische Nähe verband. Ein Roman wie Klaus Manns «Mephisto» ist ohne Heinrich Manns «Der Untertan» gar nicht zu denken. In gewisser Hinsicht warfare Onkel Heinrich für Klaus eine artwork geistiger Vater, zeitweilig sogar ein Vaterersatz.
Im Zentrum des Buches steht der weitgehend unveröffentlichte Briefwechsel zwischen Klaus und Heinrich Mann, der vollständig abgedruckt und von den Herausgebern ausführlich kommentiert und erläutert wird.
Darüber hinaus werden erstmals sämtliche Tagebucheinträge Klaus Manns über seinen Onkel publiziert sowie alle wichtigen Aufsätze, die Neffe und Onkel übereinander geschrieben haben.

Den zweiten Schwerpunkt des Buches bildet ein ausführliches Doppelporträt von Klaus und Heinrich Mann. Inge Jens und Uwe Naumann schildern darin die Rolle der beiden Schriftsteller in den politischen und literarischen Auseinandersetzungen ihrer Zeit. Zugleich wird die verborgene Dreiecksgeschichte Thomas – Heinrich – Klaus Mann zum ersten Mal eingehend dargestellt.
