What a powerful book! It gives a portrayal of how Hitler and his regime was able to worm its way into the lives of many in their own country, wooing them into supporting and loving Hitler; but that quickly turned to oppression, persecution, and domination. This small book tells its story so effectively through letters back and forth between two best friends, one a Jewish American and the other a German.
This story was originally published in Story magazine in 1938. When it was published, it became a sensation internationally. I read that it was credited for exposing the dangers of Nazism to Americans early on.
This story is so well done and in my opinion should be required reading. It is short enough to be easily read in a day or maybe even in one sitting.

This book was interesting. The ending has me thinking still, but it was a very quick read. It was direct and got the point across nicely. Still picking my brain a little bit and i would say it’s more of a 3.5 than a 4.
You think you know somebody. You think they’re your friend. Nope.
This epistolary short story or short novella provides a momentary cathartic release for one of the worst eras of human cruelty as it sought to educate people in the US about the plight of Jews as Hitler came to power. Maybe all those anti-Semitic isolationists went to their imaginary hell and burn there still.

Quick read but a powerful story. The real life effects of propaganda on the people. The ones whose minds are changed and the people demonized by it. It’s always. First they came for….
