Tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog wordt vlak achter de Belgische frontlinie een soldaat gevonden. Hij is niet gewond, maar weet niet wie hij is. Men brengt hem naar een gesticht voor krankzinnigen. Vier jaar na de oorlog vindt hij via een advertentie zijn familie terug. Hij blijkt Amand Coppens te heten en hij heeft een vrouw, Julienne, en twee kinderen. Julienne neemt hem mee naar huis, maar hij herinnert zich zijn leven met haar niet. Het is een vreemde, ongemakkelijke situatie, ook voor haar. Ze vertelt hem over hun verleden en hij probeert de man te worden die hij ooit was, en zo worden ze opnieuw verliefd, veel verliefder dan ze ooit waren toen ze jaren geleden met elkaar trouwden. Naarmate hij zich meer op zijn gemak voelt in zijn nieuwe leven krijgt hij vaker nachtmerries over zijn tijd in de loopgraven. Het ergste vindt hij nog wel dat hij, afgaand op zijn nachtmerries, van de door hem begane gruwelijkheden heeft genoten. Dat kan hij zichzelf niet vergeven. De herinnerde soldaat is een roman over het begrip ‘identiteit’. Amand heeft geen echte identiteit omdat hij geen herinneringen van voor 1918 heeft. Hij moet zich in de wereld zien te redden zonder het houvast van het verleden.

Babi Yar: A Document in the Form of a Novel is an internationally acclaimed documentary novel by Anatoly Kuznetsov about the Babi Yar massacre. The two-day murder of 33,771 Jewish civilians on September 29-30, 1941 in the Kiev ravine was one of the largest single mass killings of the Holocaust. The novel begins as follows: "Everything in this book is true. When I recounted episodes of this story to different people, they all said I had to write the book. The word ‘document’ in the subtitle of this novel means that I have provided only actual facts and documents without the slightest literary conjecture as to how things could or must have happened."
