Angel of Oblivion
Angel of Oblivion 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.
