    Sebald's subject matter is memory and its uncertain connection to the past. In this non-fiction work he turns his attention to the German homefront experience of the Second World War. He questions the postwar push to look to the future and ignore the past. He critiques the silence of German writers who were incapable of writing realistically about their own experiences or worse, who refurbished their own pasts. In his book he attempts to "cast some light on the way in which individual, collective and cultural memory deals with experiences exceeding what is tolerable".

    Als Wolfskinder bezeichnet man die im nördlichen Ostpreußen am Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges durch Kriegseinwirkungen und -folgen zeitweise oder dauerhaft elternlos gewordenen heimatlosen Kinder, die, um in den ersten Nachkriegsjahren zu überleben, in das Baltikum flüchteten oder dorthin gebracht wurden. In Litauen wurden sie als vokietukai bezeichnet, das heißt „kleine Deutsche“.

    Der Wolfskinder-Geschichtsverein e. V. definiert Wolfskinder als „anhanglose deutsche Kinder und Jugendliche, die im Frühjahr 1947 dem drohenden Hungertod im nördlichen Ostpreußen zu entgehen versuchten, aus diesem Grund in Litauen in außerdeutsche Zusammenhänge gerieten und infolgedessen ihre Herkunft zeitweise oder mit Hilfe einer neuen Identität gar dauerhaft verschleiern mussten“.
