I guess I have to disagree with the others by saying I didn't like this book.

I read a lot of books about this horrific time in history, as I'm obsessed by the subject. However, I found this book to be somewhat dry and boring at times about the meek professor and his promiscuous wayward daughter. It just didn't do it for me!

Even though I knew about antisemitism during the Roosevelt administration, I am always appalled to read about it and about America not doing more to help (less) [edit]
