pp. xv, 556, “This second volume of Klemperer’s diary of the Nazi years confirms its place alongside Anne Frank’s diary and Elie Wiesel’s Night in the pantheon of Holocaust literature. Yet in many ways it is a more valuable source for the historian and general reader, as Klemperer gives the most finely detailed and intricately delineated portrait of the Nazi era for the man-in-the-street. Granted, as a Jew married to an “Aryan” woman, and with his incredible capacity to see what his fellow Germans couldn’t or wouldn’t see, Klemperer was no ordinary German. Rather, he was an ordinary man in his desire to live freely–and in his empathy. The defining characteristic of the diary is how he maintains a capacity for the human in the face of the barbaric.”
