At the heart of this narrative is Paul Bernstein, a Jewish WWI veteran who was awarded for his bravery but ultimately perished in Auschwitz in 1944, and his wife, Johanna Moosdorf, a non-Jewish woman who fought tirelessly to protect their family. Their two half-Jewish children, Barbara and Thomas, born in the late 1930s, faced constant danger during WWII. Yet, thanks to Johanna's courageous efforts and Nazi policies that treated half-Jews differently, the children survived the war.\u003c\/p\u003eWith a powerful epilogue that reflects on Germany's response to its Nazi past and its relevance to contemporary far-right movements, including those in the U.S., this book offers a timely perspective on history's echoes in today's world. This unforgettable story captures a family's fight for survival amidst one of history's darkest chapters, making it an essential read for anyone interested in personal stories of resistance and the enduring lessons of the past.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Paul Bernstein \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Columbia University, where he served from 1975 to 2007.
