Yet we need these stories to provide a moral compass, especially in times of political extremism, when fear and hatred strain the bonds of loyalty and neighborly compassion. How, this book asks, do neighbors maintain a modicum of decency in such times? How do we negotiate evil and remain humane when, as in the Nazi years, hate rules?City and town lifeGermanyBlack ForestJewsGermanyBlack ForestHistory20th centuryNational socialismGermanyBlack ForestHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)GermanyJudaismRelationsChristianityImmigrantsUnited StatesAssimilation (Sociology)United StatesBlack Forest (Germany)Ethnic relations20th centuryBlack Forest (Germany)History, LocalElectronic books.City and town lifeJewsHistoryNational socialismHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)JudaismRelationsChristianity.ImmigrantsAssimilation (Sociology)305.892/404346Schwartz Mimi1054156MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451579903321Good neighbors, bad times2486530UNINA
