What recovering memories accomplishes for Sebald's Austerlitz

Transcribed from text sent to this blog earlier this a.m. but not received/posted: Read a but further in W.G. Sebald's "Austerlitz" to point where A. descries to narrator his nervous breakdown and recovery as kind attendant finds in papers name and address (?) of Maria, the woman who took A. to Marienbad and to whom he was cold and distant - this time better luck, as she slowly helps him recover his senses and he seems truly grateful and at last ready to enter into a mature adult relationship. It seems he had to not only recover his lost memories of his childhood but truly to understand that he was born a Jew and this his family was annihilated and that the abqandonment that was the cause of and source for all of his repressions and obsessions is also what saved his life. He has to not hate has parent, in other words. Again, it's important to think of this within the context of European history. Sebald is exploring the guilt and the recovery felt and experienced by modern Germans and by himself - and as I near the end of the novel, I wonder whether to expect a soft, hopeful conclusion so out of keeping with the grim tone of Sebald's earlier work - dark, and obsessed with suicide. Maybe writing this novel in some way helped Sebald himself to recover, on a personal level - before his tragic early death.
