$23.95

What was it like to be a Jew in Nazi-dominated Berlin, to have no freedom of movement, to be forced to wear a Yellow Star and watch friends be transported or commit suicide? The group of 19 letters left behind by journalist Herman Samter, head of the classified section of Jüdisches Nachrichtenblatt, the last Jewish newspaper to remain active after Krystallnacht, is a rare historical document of Jewish Berliners in the shadow of deportation and death.
