The S.S. officer's armchair : uncovering the hidden life of a Nazi / Daniel Lee. by Lee, Daniel, 1983- Hachette Books, 2020.

Schutzstaffel -- Officers.   Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) -- Czechoslovakia.   Czechoslovakia -- History -- 1938-1945.   Prague (Czech Republic) -- History -- 20th century. ISBN:  9780316509091 (hc.) Edition:  1st U.S. ed. Description:  xiv, 303 p. : ill., map, portraits ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "One night at a dinner party in Florence, historian Daniel Lee was told about a remarkable discovery. An upholsterer in Amsterdam had found a bundle of swastika-covered documents inside the cushion of an armchair he was repairing. They belonged to Dr. Robert Griesinger, a lawyer from Stuttgart, who joined the S.S. and worked at the Reich's Ministry of Economics and Labour in Occupied Prague during the war. An expert in the history of the Holocaust, Lee was fascinated to know more about this man - and how his most precious documents ended up hidden inside a chair, hundreds of miles from Prague and Stuttgart. In The S.S. Officer's Armchair, Lee weaves detection with biography to tell an astonishing narrative of ambition and intimacy in the Third Reich. He uncovers Griesinger's American backstory -- his father was born in New Orleans and the family had ties to the plantations and music halls of nineteenth century Louisiana. As Lee follows the footsteps of a rank and file Nazi official seventy years later, and chronicles what became of him and his family at the war's end, Griesinger's role in Nazi crimes comes into focus. When Lee stumbles on an unforeseen connection between Griesinger and the murder of his own relatives in the Holocaust, he must grapple with potent questions about blame, manipulation, and responsibility."--From publisher.
