Book Synopsis
Hildesheim is a mid-sized provincial town in northwest Germany. This title presents an account of how townspeople went about their lives and reacted to events during the Nazi era. It considers the actual customs and experiences of friendship and neighbourliness in a German town before, during, and after the Third Reich.

Trade Review

[Bergerson's] carefully crafted volume, divided into two major sections dealing with pre-Nazi and Nazi Germany and providing 'thick descriptions' of a number of the interviewees he so patiently worked with, is both insightful and fair-minded.June 2009
