Welcome to Litsy!

🙏

Everyone debates the facts with subtle nuances , what aboutism & old fashioned gaslighting....I'm not debating if the South African immigrant did or didn't do a nazi salute (He totally did by the way), but the dismantling of the Department of Healths department of woman's health & reproductive rights in less than 24 hrs is fact. Can't wait for me Feb appointment to get my paperwork together to leave this country.

This was just ok. Though the topic was intriguing, it was just meh for me. At least that‘s one Audible book off my TBR. #DoubleSpin

My 1st Larson book, I listened to this the last couple of weeks. All about the American ambassador to Germany & his family during the 1930s. Mostly set during 1933-34 when Hitler was chancellor & gaining power. Really interesting & scary, some direct connections to our current government. Some parts were slower or not as good but overall, an important read of a time period not covered much (or at all) in school.

Learned so much about Nazi Germany.

My god…. This whole book was horrifyingly fascinating. WOW. Just full of madness, addiction and horror.

Holy cannoli…. I‘m only a quarter of the way through….. I am astounded.😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

Hi,

I'm making a tentative return, slowly getting better. Thank you for all your lovely well wishes.
I'll catch up with all tags and posts over the week. I've just posted the October #buddyreads for #NaturaLitsy and #VirginiaBloomsberries
I will post the discussion threads for both September 's reads over the weekend.
I'm looking forward to catching up.

I read this book after I read Newshawks in Berlin. Hitlerland is, of course, Nazi Germany. This book shows us a picture of the rise of Adolph Hitler as seen through the eyes of various Americans living and working in Berlin. Some thought Hitler wasn‘t dangerous and his movement wouldn‘t last, especially after he was arrested and sent to prison. Quite an informative book if history is your interest. Five stars

If you‘re concerned about democracy and curious about comparisons to 1930s Germany, this worthwhile read follows America‘s first ambassador to Nazi Germany & his family‘s response—particularly his daughter, whose dalliances included the Gestapo chief and a Soviet spy—to the rise of Hitler. A revealing, disturbing, and relevant depiction of moral complicity & political complexity and a dire warning about unexamined biases and underestimating evil.
