A wonderful meditation on memory wrapped up in the horrors of the Second World War, the Holocaust and the Kindertransport. How Sebald can make a story narrated by someone we know almost nothing about, about another person acting as the de facto narrator most of the time, and with no paragraph breaks (save for photos) a pageturner, is masterful. And that last sentence has a plaikilar structure to those of the text!
