Lion Feuchtwanger/The Oppermanns

Abstract: A 10 page essay that examines and offers an overview of Lion Feuchtwanger's 1934 novel, which successfully described and predicted the horrors of Nazi Germany and the threat that the Hitler regime represented. As Ruth Gruber explains in her introduction to the English translation, when Feuchtwanger wrote this book, the world was still in denial about the threat that Hitler posed to the international peace and, specifically, the threat that the Nazi Party posed toward European Jewry. The writer discusses the themes of Nationalism, anti-Semitism and political trends. No additional sources cited.
