More Praise for Good Neighbors, Bad Times

Good_neighbors_bad_times_3Good Neighbors, Bad Times: Echoes of My Father’s German Village
by Mimi Schwartz

“A fascinating picture, atypical of so much written on the subject. Blessed with good antennae and a skeptical mind, Ms. Schwartz is not an innocent abroad. Never gullible or credulous, but open to the evidence of her own eyes and ears, she is an ideal guide to her father’s lost world, which for so long she resisted. . . . It is a measure of her nuanced approach and refusal to settle for pat, simplistic answers that her book finds and genuinely values a rare point of light in that darkest of times without ever exaggerating its overall significance.” —Martin Rubin, The Washington Times
