DESCRIPTION:This book is the story of a Jewish family living in Germany during the rise 
 and rule of fascism.\n\nDeeply 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.\n\nWhat 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.\n\nRevolution Books is proud to host this 
 presentation by Bruce Neuburger about his book, Postcards to Hitler, a work 
 of history that holds very important lessons for our present 
 time.\n\n“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.\n\nIf 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\n\nBruce Neuburger is the child of holocaust 
 survivors from Germany.  Shaped as well by the great social justice 
 movements of the 1960s. Author of Lettuce Wars: Ten Years of Work and 
 Struggle in the Fields of California published by Monthly Review Press and 
 the Spanish translation Guerras de Lechuga published by Köehler and Cafe 
 Con Leche books. Author of numerous articles on social justice issues, 
 especially immigrants.\n\nFor more about the book, visit the website:

 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.\n\nOrder the book
