Prof. Dr.
Catherine Toal published an article in the
Dublin Review of Books about Mount Stewart House in Co. Down, Ireland, and the story of its owners, in particular the 7th Earl of Londonderry, whose connections with Nazism and the Third Reich were researched by Ian Kershaw in
Making Friends with Hitler, and provided one source for the now-classic novel,
The Remains of the Day, by Kazuo Ishiguro. The piece focuses on the way these aspects of the family's past are handled by the UK National Trust in its presentation of the house.
