The Reader （Der Vorleser） is an award-winning novel by German law professor and judge Bernhard Sehlink. It was published in Germany in 1995 and in the United States （translated into English by Carol Brown Janeway） in 1997.
It deals with the difficulties which subsequent generations have in comprehending the Holocaust; specifically, whether a sense of its origins and magnitude can be adequately conveyed solely through written and oral media. This question is increasingly at the center of Holocaust literature in the late 20th and early 21st century, as the victims and witnesses of the Holocaust die and its living memory begins to fade.
