Annotation:
The author, a historian, chronicles Jewish life in Germany under Nazi control. In response to countless observers who wonder why German Jews did not simply leave the country, Kaplan argues that choices could not be made this easily. What began as subtle humiliation of and indecency toward Jews led to widespread racial hatred and distrust and ultimately, to the nightmare of the Holocaust. Germany was still home to many Jews, and it was difficult early on to foresee the ultimate insanity that would ensue. Primary source material enriches the author's narrative. A "New York Times" Notable Book for 1998.
