Reviews
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 Disparates--Patrick Madden In this new edition Mimi Schwartz brings us back to her father's ancestral village of Rexingen in the German Black Forest to show us that, generations later, it still has much to teach us about decency then and now. --Frank Mecklenburg, director of research and chief archivist of the Leo Baeck Institute --Frank Mecklenburg Even if you have read Good Neighbors, Bad Times before, you should read it again. 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 --Alicia Ostriker
