This chapter focuses on Julia Franck’s novel Lagerfeuer (2003), which is set in the emergency reception camp in the Berlin district of Marienfelde in the late 1970s. As this analysis will show, Franck’s narrative uses the borderline space of the camp to interrogate the relationship between the two Germanies during the Cold War era. Moreover, both its shifting narrative perspective and its focus on surveillance allow this relationship to be examined from a variety of different viewpoints. Finally, with its inclusion of a Jewish character and its incorporation of a number of Jewish elements, the novel also raises questions regarding the way in which Jews are viewed by East and West German society in the post-war era.
