About this title

Synopsis

The author, son of a Jewish mother and a Catholic father, recounts his experiences growing up in Nazi Germany

Reviews

The title of this book is both appropriate and aphoristic. Its author made his postwar career in the United States as an editor and writer. Under the Third Reich he belonged to one of the least documented groups of Hitler's victims: the Mischlinge, those having one or two Jewish grandparents but not practicing Judaism; they escaped the persecution directed at "full Jews," yet were not recognized as citizens. Ineligible for military service until the war's end, Kuehn worked at a variety of jobs in Berlin, lived in furnished rooms, and sought solace in philosophy. Kuehn's determined focus on the intellectual life may seem incongruous, but it was nevertheless a characteristic, if not distinctive, German response to the Hitler era. Recommended for collections on Nazi Germany. Dennis E. Showalter, Colorado Coll., Colorado Springs
