Germany has often been called in literature and media, the Nation of Perpetrators and Victims, especially after the collapse of the double dictatorship headed by East German Berlin for over 40 years. From a minority twist or perspective, Balci begins to discuss this extremely German theme of "perpetrators and victims" by looking at its prevalence on the modern streets and in the schools of Berlin, which is often promoted as the cultural capital of Central Europe and European Unification. She does this by looking at Arab and Muslim families in the troubled neighborhoods of de-Germanized Neukoelln in 2008. Although Balci seldom points her finger directly at Germans in modern Berlin for the Victim and Perpetrator community of Neukoelln, it would be interesting to see what Balci will do in a follow-up novel.
