The article focuses on the book "The Healing Wound: Experience and Reflections on Germany, 1938-2001," by Gitta Sereny. Surprisingly, Sereny's new book on Germany turns out to be a book about love. There, among Sereny's many interviews, essays and investigative pieces spanning the past half-century in the life and memory of Europe's dominant nation, is Leni Riefenstahl, at the age of 90, confessing her ancient love for Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, an ardor shared by the unlikely figure of Francois Genoud, a Swiss lawyer and fixer and unabashed Nazi until his death in 1996.
