In 1945 in Hitler’s Germany, 500 civilians – bakers, tailors and old men no longer fit for combat - were trained to exterminate their Jewish neighbors. Volpi takes this incident out of its historical context and places it in a non-specific everywhere, a sad sequence of events that demonstrates the depths to which humans can sink and have sunk.
