- Summary
- Told with scrupulous attention to detail and accuracy, this text provides important background information on Jewish life in Europe, the functions of the hierarchy within the Nazi government, and the psychological foundations of prejudice.

In fact, the author tells this story from a unique point-of-view, having experienced Nazi Germany as a child.
