With \u003ci\u003eJews in Nazi Berlin\u003c\/i\u003e, those individual lives--and the constant struggle they required--come fully into focus, and the result is an unprecedented and deeply moving portrait of a people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on a remarkably rich archive that includes photographs, objects, official documents, and personal papers, the editors of \u003ci\u003eJews in Nazi Berlin\u003c\/i\u003e have assembled a multifaceted picture of Jewish daily life in the Nazi capital during the height of the regime's power. The book's essays and images are divided into thematic sections, each representing a different aspect of the experience of Jews in Berlin, covering such topics as emigration, the yellow star, Zionism, deportation, betrayal, survival, and more. To supplement--and, importantly, to humanize--the comprehensive documentary evidence, the editors draw on an extensive series of interviews with survivors of the Nazi persecution, who present gripping first-person accounts of the innovation, subterfuge, resilience, and luck required to negotiate the increasing brutality of the regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stunning reconstruction of a storied community as it faced destruction, \u003ci\u003eJews in Nazi Berlin\u003c\/i\u003e renders that loss with a startling immediacy that will make it an essential part of our continuing attempts to understand World War II and the Holocaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beate Meyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226521575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226521572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.74h x 7.88w x 1.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2009 pg. 66","brand":"Beate Meyer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086415802623,"sku":"9780226521572","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3d9fb45-ec74-4f47-8bfb-9f73437af65c.jpg?v=1769094544","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jews-in-nazi-berlin-beate-meyer-9780226521572","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
