Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A thoughtful, notable addition to the literature of the Holocaust . . . a poignant memoir.' Kirkus ReviewsIn They Were Good Germans Once, Evelyn Toynton speaks to a universal immigrant family experience some embrace a new life, some forge a compromise between their new home and old traditions, while others never fully find their way.While Toyntons father became a hardworking, civicminded American, with a great sense of obligation to his suburban community, her uncle never stopped feeling like an exile in the US as soon after World War II as he could, he began making trips back to Germany.The women in her family also had widely varying relationships to the societies in which they found refuge. One of them, after browbeating a Nazi police chief into having her husband released from Dachau, wound up in England and became a passionate Anglophile; another, a widow deprived of all material comfort and security, retreated into seclusion in her tiny New York apartment, distancing herself from American life and finding solace in her beloved German poets; a fierce Zionist who smuggled guns and money from Europe into Palestine under the noses of the British went on to found a kibbutz and fight for the rights of Arabs as well as Jews.Then there was the authors Germanborn mother, who emigrated to the U.S. only to be struck down by tragedy and forced to live separately from her children, but still found ways to nurture them and provide them with a haven from their sorrows.Through this series of essays, Toynton remembers her migr relatives, some of whom left Germany as soon as Hitler came to power, others only escaping much later. Her family lost not only their native homeland and their sense of identity but many of the people they loved. Yet each found ways to give meaning to their lives, whether in their own small circles or in the world at large.
