Between dignity and despair

Between Dignity and Despair draws on the extraordinary memoirs, diaries, interviews, and letters of Jewish women and men to give us the first intimate portrait of Jewish life in Nazi Germany. This deeply moving picture of an oppressed community responding to adversity gives us a new way to address the unrelenting question, Why didn't they leave sooner? It also offers a new look at the problem, What did the Germans know and what did they do? - Back cover.

First sentence: From the outset, the Nazi government used legislation, administrative decrees, and propaganda to defame and ostracize Jews and to lower their social, economic, and legal standing.
