5.0 out of 5 stars A unique micro-history of the Second World War, May 22, 2005
This review is from: My Middle Name is Israel (Paperback)
Hans Riess' autobiographic account is a remarkable story of how the rise of Nazism impacted the "assimilated" Jewish families of Berlin during the 1930s and forever changed lives thereafter. It is not a history of the Holocaust, but it is the story of the indignities suffered by those who were able to escape from Nazi Germany but nonetheless endured living upon the periphery of evil during the Second World War. Experiences of life in Berlin, London, and Shanghai are presented in a well-told story that informs as it inspires.

5.0 out of 5 stars My middle name is Israel; memoir, November 2, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: My Middle Name is Israel (Paperback)
It is a story of survival. A very good read. It is a facinating story of what happened in WW II.
