Angel of Oblivion

Angel of Oblivion (German: Engel des Vergessens, Slovene: Angel pozabe) is a 2011 autobiographical novel written by bilingual Slovenian-German Austrian writer Maja Haderlap. The story revolves around the life of a Carinthian Slovene peasant family that had been badly struck by the National Socialist regime in World War II. The novel highlights Austria's only militarily organised resistance against National Socialism - the Carinthian minority of Carinthian Slovenes as one of the non-Jewish Holocaust's victims.[1]

Awards

In 2011, it won the 25,000 euro Ingeborg Bachmann Prize at the 35th Festival of German Literature in Klagenfurt.[2]
