Not Me

Michael Lavigne, 2005

A divorced stand-up comic, caring for his Alzheimer's-afflicted father, comes to terms with his father's secret past and impending death, the earlier death of his teenage sister, his divorce, and his relationship with his own young son. He finds his father's journals, discovering that his father was not a concentration camp survivor, but a former Nazi accountant at Bergen-Belsen who posed as a Jew since the end of World War II. The novel performs a balancing act between past and present, guilt and forgiveness.
