Those Who Forget: My Family's Story in Nazi Europe - A Memoir, a History, a Warning by Geraldine Schwarz

5.0

It is completely appropriate that Schwarz has “A Warning” as part of her title because more than anything, that is what stuck with me. She uses her family’s story to talk about “memory work” that was done specifically by West Germans after the Holocaust. It’s the first time I’ve heard this phrase. I appreciated how she connected the past, and this “memory work”, to the rise in fascism in the US and in Europe.
