Story was well told and well researched. Big fan of the author. The line between who lived and who died was so small. Get your papers one day - all good. Try 6 hrs later and you may be consigned to death, Amazed how Germans could become such sheep and acquiesce as the hatred and persecution spread. Hard to believe it could happen. Then read the stat that the Jewish population of Germany in 1933 was 0.75%! ( ) This is an account of the Jewish inhabitants of a small German village and their desperate attempts to emigrate from the hostile environment beginning with the rise of Hitler before it was too late. I had never realized how difficult it was for Jews to leave Germany during that time, and how many obstacles the US put in their way, severely limiting the number of visas and making even those few visas extremely difficult to obtain. After the US entered the war in 1941, it became even more difficult to obtain a visa, since the Jews in German were viewed as enemy aliens. And I simply had not realized how rampant anti-Semitism was at the time, even in the US. This is an eye-opening and heartbreaking book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
