A review by kathym91
Mendelssohn is on the Roof by Jiří Weil
4.0
4.5 stars
An astonishingly honest and tragic account of the Nazi occupation of Prague, made even more bitter and cruel by the sharp use of dark satire. Weil evokes not only the suffering of Jewish people, but the utterly absurd and horrific way in which Nazi ideology was implemented through a mix of bureaucracy and criminality.
