One brother oversees the furniture chain founded by their grandfather, one is an eminent surgeon, one a respected critic. They are rich, cultured, liberal, and public spirited, proud inheritors of the German enlightenment. They don't see Hitler as a threat. Then, to their horror, the Nazis come to power, and the Oppermanns and their children are faced with the terrible decision of whether to adapt--if they can--flee, or try to fight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written in 1933, nearly in real time, \u003ci\u003eThe Oppermanns\u003c\/i\u003e captures the day-to-day vertigo of watching a liberal democracy fall apart. As Joshua Cohen writes in his introduction to this new edition, it is \"one of the last masterpieces of German-Jewish culture.\" Prescient and chilling, it has lost none of its power today.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.43 x 5.04 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 18, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47253046722809,"sku":"9781946022332","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/VXBXZ01ndTdjTXdFbEJnZkRpSktTZz09.webp?v=1768694168","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-oppermanns-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
