I picked this up because I was wondering about the narrative of Third Reich Germany between the SS and Jews and those who helped them. This book spent a lot of time exploring the history after WWII, and how each generation understood this time period and processed this guilt. The author also discusses some of his experiences as a Jewish person growing up in Germany. I think this book is worth a read.

Not sure if he should have digressed quite as far as he did into analysis of racial tension in the US compared to being Jewish in Germany, but I see where he was going. Definitely opened my eyes to a lot of history I was not aware of
