"The German question still haunts the modern world: How could so civilized a nation be responsible for the greatest horror in Western history? In this unusual fusion of personal memoir and history, the celebrated scholar Fritz Stern refracts the question through the prism of his own life. Born in Weimer Republic, exposed to five years of National Socialism, and finally finding a haven in the United States in 1938, he became a world renowned historian of modern Europe whose work opened new perspectives on the German and German-Jewish past; his critical commentary soon became part of the public debates in Germany itself." - Book Cover
