Summary of Susan Neiman's Learning from the Germans

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I began life as a white girl in the segregated South, and I’m likely to end it as a Jewish woman in Berlin. I was never a victim of a concentration camp or pogrom, and I learned about the Holocaust as a child, but it did not impact my own life.

#2 I have a deep connection with the South, and I miss it. I miss the newness of green, and the promise that it brings.

#3 I had a difficult time making friends as a child, but I did meet some liberals who shared my political views at the Actors and Writers Workshop, an integrated youth group in Atlanta.

#4 I came to Berlin not to get over the Nazis, but to understand them better. I was writing about the nature of reason, and they provided a world-historical question mark. I felt exalted by the heady sense of abandon, and I loved being forgotten in a city in limbo.
