In this second edition, Schwartz’s scrupulously researched, humane, and multivoiced account of a German village where Jews and Gentiles ‘all got along,’ according to [her] father, has been profoundly enriched. . . . The meaning of ‘neighbor’ gains an utterly new dimension.”—Alicia Ostriker, poet laureate of New York State\u003cbr\u003e“Mimi Schwartz reminds us how close we are (in time, in danger, in sentiment) to the horrific past, but that, even then, individual stories from everyday people show us grace and goodness and generosity despite the suffering.”—Patrick Madden, author of \u003ci\u003eDisparates\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"With the two perspectives of Sayer and Schwartz you are able to see corroborating and contrasting points of view. By putting them together they showcase a deeper understanding of the village of this pivotal time. . . . Schwartz is again able to craft a narrative in a way that updates the idea of memoirs and how they can be used to educate readers.\"—thenerdygirlexpress.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations    \u003cbr\u003e Preface: Why I’m Revisiting Good Neighbors, Bad Times    \u003cbr\u003e Author’s Note to the First Edition    \u003cbr\u003e Part One.
