Jews, German; Germany; Berlin; History.
Annotation
Princeton scholar Leonard Barkan writes about his unabashed love of Berlin, despite its tortured history as the place where Hitler and his cadre plotted the extermination of the Jews, including members of Barkan s own family. But this is not another Holocaust book: Barkan wants to explore what a very Jewish city Berlin has been through the ages and how steeped in modern Jewish culture this vital urban marvel continues to be. Part travelogue and part history, it s a beautiful tribute to a complex city.
