Hitler, My Neighbor

Hitler, My Neighbor: Memories of a Jewish Childhood | Edgar Feuchtwanger

pick

This is an excellent memoir, translated from French. In it, Edgar recounts the 10 years he lived across from Hitler in a quiet Munich neighborhood. With a chapter for each year (1929-1939), Hitler‘s obscure rise to power starts to have disastrous effects on Edgar‘s family and their circle of friends. Such a great book! The author is 92 and finally decided to write his memoir of this period in time. Highly recommend!

bibliobliss That sounds so interesting! 7y

Now that‘s the kind of library I aspire to have, but in the meantime, I too enjoy gazing at my books. Don‘t you?

Sweettartlaura I LOVE looking at my books! Reorganizing them, re-shelving them, just... being around them 7y

EvieBee @Sweettartlaura Me too! My husband thinks I‘m nuts and although I own a lot of Kindle books, I don‘t get the same satisfaction as perusing my shelves. 7y

Sweettartlaura Nope, nowhere near it, @EvieBee - physical books are like magic - so soothing. I suppose it‘s like plants for some people. 7y
