“In Hans von Trotha’s haunting novel Pollak’s Arm … beautifully translated into English by Elisabeth Lauffer, the setting is Nazi-occupied Rome on October 16, 1943, the Saturday when the Gestapo rounded up the city’s Jews—the day when the barbarians came knocking door to door … We hear spellbinding tales.”
