Originally published in German as Die Geschwister Oppermann by Querido Verlag, 1933. 520 $a "In the foment of Weimar-era Berlin, the Oppermann brothers represent tradition and stability. One brother oversees the furniture chain founded by their grandfather, one is an eminent surgeon, one a respected critic. They are rich, cultured, liberal, and public spirited, proud inheritors of the German enlightenment. They don't see Hitler as a threat. Then, to their horror, the Nazis come to power, and the Oppermanns and their children are faced with the terrible decision of whether to adapt - if they can - flee, or try to fight. Written in 1933, nearly in real time, The Oppermanns captures the day-to-day vertigo of watching a liberal democracy fall apart. As Joshua Cohen writes in his introduction to this new edition, it is "one of the last masterpieces of German-Jewish culture." Prescient and chilling, it has lost none of its power today." -- Jacket flap. 650 0 $a Jews $z Berlin $z Berlin $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Germany $x History $y 1933-1945 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Political fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Cleugh, James, $e translator. 941 $a 3 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014412.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231114010547.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20221111010147.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=837491B0618E11EDBAF355CF54ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
