Set in late 1930s Germany, the narrative follows the elderly professor Herr Veilchenfeld, who faces humiliation and violence from a group of drunks, with police indifference marking the event as trivial. The story is narrated through the innocent perspective of a young boy, son of the attending doctor, who is unaware of the deeper implications of the events unfolding around him. This poignant tale explores the far-reaching consequences of persecution, affecting both individuals and their communities, and is a significant work newly translated into English.
