In the foment of Weimar-era Berlin, the Oppermann brothers represent tradition and stability. One brother oversees the furniture chain founded by their grandfather, one is an eminent surgeon, and one a respected critic. They are rich, cultured, liberal, and public-spirited, proud inheritors of the German Enlightenment. They don't see Hitler as a threat. Then, to their horror, the Nazis come to power, and the Oppermanns and their children are faced with the terrible decision of whether to adapt—if they can—flee or try to fight.

Stunning warning to us all.

Every one should listen or read this book in the first few months of the Trump administration. So much of the language and tactics of the current MAGA agenda are following the National Socialists as they came to power in 1931/32. Ultimately, fascism is insidious and incremental, sneaking into the consciousness of a people to fundamentally change how they think about others, Empathy is numbed; Compassion is ridiculed. A certain absurd rationality takes over that can explain away the most brutal behavior. We are right now about where Germany was in 1931. Beware. This book opens your eyes to how it happens.
