Hitler, My Neighbor: Memories of a Jewish Childhood, 1929-1939 by Bertil Scali, Edgar Feuchtwanger
4.0
This book was told over the ten years of Hitler's rise to power and the outbreak of World War II. It is the recollection of a man in his nineties, told about when he was five to fifteen.
The perspective of a child to the changing world of Germany, and the adults reactions from thinking Hitler was a fringe player to genuine loathing then fear as he became more powerful was heartbreaking to read and a powerful voice that is often lost when we look back on this point in history.
Even in the darkest times, we can learn so much from the viewpoint of a child. In this case, one who was quite proud to be German ND fond of Hitler way on, to eventually come to hate Hitler and the Nazi party.
I definitely recommend checking this book out. it's a quick but powerful read, and a story worth sharing.
This book was originally published in French h, and the English translation released in 2017.
I received an ARC of those book from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
