Der Mut zum Überleben

Więcej o książce

Marion Kaplan provides a groundbreaking study that offers an intimate view of the persecution of Jews, focusing on the perspective of the victims rather than the perpetrators or ordinary Germans. She explores how German Jews experienced daily life under National Socialism. This question is answered through a wealth of previously underutilized letters, diaries, memoirs, and interviews, primarily with Jewish women. Kaplan's focus remains on the spaces where life unfolded—kitchens, living rooms, streets, neighborhoods, kindergartens, schools, shops, cafés, and offices. It is from this unsettling proximity that one can understand the gradual constriction of life and the immense courage that survival required each day.
