The author tells us in his latest work that the sinking of the Titanic was not the greatest maritime disaster. In 1945, the cruise ship Wilhelm Gustloff was torpedoed and took over nine thousand victims, most of them refugees, down with her. In order to write about this incident, Pokriefke searches the Internet only to discover that his estranged son is also interested in this matter. One tragedy leads to another. A thought-provoking history lesson and a window into Germany's struggle with its past.
