German actor Edgar Selge confronts his Nazi parents’ legacy in new novel

lecho.be (French)

German actor Edgar Selge has published the autobiographical novel "Tu nous as enfin trouvés" with Actes Sud, exploring his childhood under Nazi parents and expressing concern about the far-right's resurgence. The book details Selge's upbringing under a violent, music-loving father who never renounced his Nazi convictions, examining filial love, anger, and lies passed between generations through fragmented memories. Selge, now 78, draws parallels between past Nazi propaganda and the current AfD party's rhetoric ahead of September 6 elections in Saxony-Anhalt, where the far-right could win an absolute majority.
