Publisher's Synopsis
When we thought that this moment was the best time, But they don't know that the storm is coming quietly... Nobody can think of "collective silence and endless tolerance" It became the beginning of all disorder and collapse. Friedrich. Schneider and I were friends growing up together. I am German, and Friedrich is Jewish as well as German. We have penetrated into each other's different lives and cultures, But I don't know when it started, fate came to a fork in the road; On one side is the inescapable death, and on the other side is the nightmare-like survival. The giant wheel of the times is coming, and we are helpless, but we can only go to the end separately. In 1925, Friedrich and the main narrator "I" were born in the same house one after another, so the two families traveled more frequently and took care of each other's children. Under the general environment of economic depression, "my" family can only live on the relief fund because of the long-term unemployment of the father, and the well-fed Schneider family provides help to "my" family from time to time. Growing up, Friedrich and "I" also shared fragments of each other's lives: "I" participated in the Jewish Sabbath ceremony, and Friedrich held a coming-of-age ceremony in the synagogue when he was thirteen; Friedrich Xi even followed "me" and mixed into the "German Youth League" he had longed for for a long time, becoming a "little partner of the head of state" and shouting "Long live victory", until the leader of the rally gave an excited speech against Jews and ordered Frederick Until Friedrich shouted "Jews are our misfortune!"... "I" was stunned, watching Friedrich leave the meeting place alone. Afterwards, more anti-Semitic policies and people's actions came overwhelmingly. Even though "my" family maintained a friendly relationship with the Schneider family as much as possible, it was struggling. "I" can only watch the country and society gradually become violent and crazy. In the end, in the atmosphere that seems to be a collective carnival, "I" actually participates in it and becomes a member of the most evil "assailant group" in history. molecule...
