This article examines two books written by second generation Germans: 'The reader' by Bernard Schlink and 'The dark room' by Rachel Seiffert. In both these books German characters embark on searches forthe Second World War past that made them. As they discover a Germany they never knew their odysseys create traumatic experiences that are revealed in narratives of absence and loss.
