One has to concede that this is a book of its time;. It was published in 1975 and written by a man in his eighties. What he writes is interesting but his style is not engaging. He shows us very little of his emotional life.
He and his wife, according to the Nuremberg race laws both Jewish, fled from Nazi Germany to Brazil in 1938.
He joined up to fight in the Great War and was asked to be baptised so that he could become an officer. He chose to remain Jewish. Many Jews fought for Germany in the Great War and some received the Iron Cross. Later they were persecuted.
I was pleased to learn that the Maiers had some good German friends, some of them working for a resistance movement, and were on the whole well looked after at great risk to those friends.
I was fascinated to read that Max Maier’s wife was at the university at the same time as my husband’s great-grandmother, Did they know each other? And Maier, did know her nephew, Ernst Löwental.
Despite it being a little dull, the book engaged me throughout and I found it interesting. In the end I read it rather quickly.
