Title: A Very Detailed Daily Diary of Nazi Torment !
Review: The author Victor Klemperer clearly tells it how it really was for Jews in Nazi Germany from 1942 to 1945. No, it's not the same details we're always horrified by. It's the simple everyday "normal" activity restrictions that the Nazi's imposed on the Jews that hits home. In addition to the atrocities we're familiar with, Mr. Klemperer kept detailed accounts of daily life for Jews. For example, Jews could not buy flowers, ride bikes or enter subways. He describes the hard labor he was forced to perform, in spite of the fact that he suffered from a heart ailment. His diary also details the many kindnesses performed by German citizens, pointing out that there always remain some good folks among the bad. This book of over 550 pages takes some time to read. But it is well worth the time. The author succeeds in providing a more vivid picture that we perhaps had previously not seen. Well worth reading . . .
