Publisher's Synopsis
As a Jew in post war Germany, Yascha Mounk felt like a foreigner in his own country. When he mentioned that he is Jewish, some made anti-Semitic jokes or talked about the superiority of the Aryan race. Others, sincerely hoping to atone for the country's past, fawned over him with a forced friendliness he found just as alienating. This book traces the contours of Jewish life in a country still struggling with the legacy of the Third Reich and portrays those, who, inevitably, continue to live in its shadow.
