Thomas Paul Bernstein: Holocaust, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"A family history from the 1890s to the 21st century embedded in research on German history that provides context for our family's life. Paul Bernstein, my father, was Jewish; his wife, Johanna Moosdorf, was not. A decorated and wounded WWI veteran, he was murdered in Auschwitz in 1944.Their two half-Jewish children, Barbara and Thomas, born in 1935 and 1937, were in some danger during WWII, but survived because Nazi policy distinguished between full and half-Jews and because of our mother's heroic efforts to keep us safe. She was under enormous stress coping with fears about her husband and the children. After liberation she collapsed and was hospitalized. An epilogue compares Germany's learning from the Nazi era with contemporary far-right extremist movements as that of Donald Trump in the US"--
