Angel of Oblivion

First edition (German)

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]
