Items related to Tales of the Master Race
A novel dealing with anti-semitism in the Third Reich. As war mounts, in a small town in Bavaria the day-to-day existence of ordinary people remains as tedious, inane and sporadically tragic as ever, while Jewish persecution - at first subtle and then overt - becomes just another fact of life.

REVIEWS of TALES OF THE MASTER RACE

"A powerful attempt to understand thephenomenon of the 'good German' through the process of imaginative sympathy....A searing portrait of the consequences of moral laziness and self-absorption."-- Michiko Kakutani, THE NEW YORK TIMES.
An audacious and imaginative attempt to understand the incomprehensible....TALES OF THE MASTER RACE turns into a novel as bricks become a wall, every small segment essential to the ultimate design." -- LOS ANGELES TIMES.
"An outstanding debut." -- PEOPLE magazine.
"A work of horrifying impact...An important, disturbing first novel." --BOOKLIST.
"In understated prose and through creative insights, the terror of living under the swastika is perfectly limned...Her novel is an extraordinary artistic achievement." --THE FORWARD.
From HarperCollins: "Marcie Hershman's haunting TALES OF THE MASTER RACE circles the streets of Kreiswald, an imaginary town in Germany, during the crucial years of the Third Reich. It takes us inside th lives of "ordinary" German citizens--Aryan men and women--marking the subtle and more overt alterations brought about by the Nazi regime. In a series of interlinked stories with overlapping characters, a devastating portrait emerges of the chance effects on everyday existence of prejudice, mass deportation, murder, and war.
Now in its 5th printing; taught at universities and public schools across the U.S.
A first novel which brings to life a small, unexceptional German town in the 1930s, Krieswald in Bavaria, where the existence of every individual is touched and altered - sometimes subtly, sometimes violently - by the Nazi regime. A portrait is drawn of the chance effects on people's lives of war.
