{"product_id":"9781590518656","title":"Hitler, My Neighbor: Memories of a Jewish Childhood, 1929-1939","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn eminent historian recounts the Nazi rise to power from his unique perspective as a young Jewish boy in Munich, living with Adolf Hitler as his neighbor. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdgar Feuchtwanger came from a prominent German-Jewish family--the only son of a respected editor and the nephew of a best-selling author, Lion Feuchtwanger. He was a carefree five-year-old, pampered by his parents and his nanny, when Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party, moved into the building opposite theirs in Munich. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1933 the joy of this untroubled life was shattered. Hitler had been named Chancellor. Edgar's parents, stripped of their rights as citizens, tried to protect him from increasingly degrading realities. In class, his teacher had him draw swastikas, and his schoolmates joined the Hitler Youth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWatching events unfold from his window, Edgar bore witness to the Night of the Long Knives, the \u003ci\u003eAnschluss\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eKristallnacht\u003c\/i\u003e. Jews were arrested; his father was imprisoned at Dachau. In 1939 Edgar was sent on his own to England, where he would make a new life, a career, have a family, and strive to forget the nightmare of his past--a past that came rushing back when he decided, at the age of eighty-eight, to tell the story of his buried childhood and his infamous neighbor.","brand":"Other Press, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171018162416,"sku":"9781590518656","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590518656_p0.jpg?v=1763807318","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590518656","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
