"Inspired by historical events and by personal history, a shattering, exquisite double portrait of a Norwegian family savaged by World War II and of a man devoted to crimes against humanity, conjoined by an actual house of horrors they both called home. Once the Germans conquer Norway in 1940, they quickly discover a tremendous native asset: Henry Oliver Rinnan, a double agent so cruel and manipulative that he would become notorious as one of Norway's vilest traitors, second only to Quisling himself. In 1941, Rinnan and his gang set up headquarters in an unspectacular suburban house and transformed the cellar into a makeshift torture and death chamber reserved for Norwegian resisters. In the war's aftermath, this house became home to a Jewish-Norwegian couple still reeling from trauma. Here their two young daughters spend a happy childhood in the very same rooms where, only a few years before, some of the most heinous acts of the occupation had been committed. Many decades later, Simon Stranger married the daughter of one of those girls, and, learning the history of her family, soon realized that their story could not be told without including Rinnan's, provoking a plague of questions: What turned a bashful shoemaker's son into this despised criminal? How could a Jewish family have chosen to move into that house? And how could Stranger himself explain to his twenty-first century son this virtually inconceivable history, and what it means to be Jewish? He wrestles with these essential questions in this stunning novel, seamlessly melding fact and fiction, guiding us through five generations' worth of history, at once intimate and global, seeking to reveal how evil is born in some and courage in others. A tremendous contribution to the literature of the Second World War--focused tightly and specifically on a previously unseen corner of it--Keep Saying Their Names reveals core facets of the human psyche. This is an intimate, unforgettable account that compels us to confront the darkness of the past honestly and genuinely in order to build a better future for those we love"--… (altro)

Een aangrijpend familieverhaal in de schaduw van een nachtmerrie
1941. Een heel gewone woning in het Noorse Trondheim wordt in beslag genomen door de nazi's en omgedoopt tot hoofdkwartier van de gehate Gestapo-agent Henry Oliver Rinnan. Het gebouw met de bijnaam "Het bendeklooster' wordt bezet door de Rinnan gang, die in de kelder honderden gevangenen op gruwelijke wijze verhoort, martelt en vermoordt.
Vijf jaar na de oorlog krijgt het huis nieuwe bewoners: een jong, Joods stel met hun kinderen. Een van deze kinderen, Grethe – de toekomstige schoonmoeder van schrijver Simon Stranger – groeit al zingend en verstoppertje spelend op in dezelfde kamers als die waarin slechts enkele jaren daarvoor nog gruwelijke taferelen plaatsvonden.
Blijf hun namen noemen is een op waarheid gebaseerde roman, die tachtig jaar geschiedenis en vier generaties beslaat. Een verhaal over de Holocaust, over familiegeheimen en over de verhalen die we kiezen om aan onze kinderen door te geven. ( )

Der zehnjährige Sohn von Simon Stranger bemerkt einen Stolperstein in den Straßen von Trondheim, der Hirsch Komissar gewidmet ist. Er erfährt, dass er der Ururenkel jenes Mannes ist, der als Jude von den Nazis ermordet wurde. Dieser Moment ist der Beginn einer Auseinandersetzung mit der Geschichte seiner Frau und deren Familie.
Dieses Buch umfasst 26 Kapitel, die mit den Buchstaben des Alphabets überschrieben sind. In diesen 26 Kapiteln wird die Familiengeschichte über 80 Jahre erzählt und es gibt eine sehr dunkle Zeit innerhalb dieser 80 Jahre, die durch die Gräueltaten der Nazis bestimmt wurden. In diesem Buch geht es nicht um eine deutsche, sondern um eine norwegische jüdische Familie, die aber auch nicht sicher war vor der Verfolgung der Deutschen, die während des Krieges Norwegen besetzt hatten.
Die Besatzer nutzten Spitzel, die Widerständler und Juden an die Deutschen verrieten. Ein solcher Zuträger war der kleinwüchsige Henry Oliver Rinnan. Er war ein unangenehmer Mensch, der früher immer gehänselt wurde und sich nun plötzlich bedeutsam fühlte. So zog er Gleichgesinnte an, die genauso skrupellos waren. Diese Bande trieb ihr Unwesen vom „Bandenkloster“ aus, wo sie feierten, folterten und töteten. Auch Hirsch Komissar wird ein Opfer von Rinnan. Weil er englische Nachrichten hörte, wurde er verhaftet und später im Konzentrationslager erschossen. Seinen Söhnen gelingt die Flucht nach Schweden.
Der Autor Simon Stranger stellt bei seinen Recherchen fest, dass seine Schwiegermutter Grete Komissar später in dem berüchtigten Haus aufgewachsen ist.
Es ist eine sehr persönliche Geschichte, die der Autor hier erzählt. Dadurch dass man so nahe an den Personen ist, verspürt man das Schreckliche umso mehr. Es ist unbegreiflich und schockierend, dass ein Mensch wie Rinnan so grausam und kaltblütig handelt.
Eine Geschichte, die unter die Haut geht. ( )
