Coming Events at Revolution Books

This book is the story of a Jewish family living in Germany during the rise and rule of fascism.

Deeply researched, this narrative history of Bruce Neuberger’s grandparents and extended family is drawn from direct interviews and a mass of archival documents, including the Neuburgers’ final letters.

What emerges is a vivid portrayal of rising anti-Semitism and then society locking down, a slow-moving parade of horror, until it is not moving slowly anymore and it becomes necessary to do whatever one can to try to stop the horror.

Revolution Books is proud to host this presentation by Bruce Neuberger about his book, Postcards to Hitler, a work of history that holds very important lessons for our present time.

“Did the Jews of that era have a right to resist these crimes? Yes. Do the Palestinians have a right to resist their oppression and persecution? Yes. Should the people of the world support the Palestinians? Yes again. Should Jewish people support Palestinians? Absolutely.

If we are to uproot the soil on which antisemitism and all forms of racism flourish, we must oppose this racialized nationalism and racial persecution wherever it manifests itself, whether in Germany in 1940, or Israel or the U.S today.”- Bruce Neuberger

Praise for the book:

Bruce Neuburger has told the very personal story of his grandfather Benno, who was executed for resisting Hitler’s persecution. Neuburger’s powerful writing recreates the atmosphere of the times as his family fights for its existence. This is a book that calls us to stand up against injustice and that gives us hope in disturbing times.—Maximilian Strnad, historian, author of The Fortune of Survival – Intermarried German Jews in the late stage of the Shoah.
