A publishing sensation, the publication of Victor Klemperer's
diaries brings to light one of the most extraordinary documents of
the Nazi period. 'A classic ... Klemperer's diary deserves to rank
alongside that of Anne Frank's' SUNDAY TIMES 'I can't remember when
I read a more engrossing book' Antonia Fraser 'Not dissimilar in
its cumulative power to Primo Levi's, is a devastating account of
man's inhumanity to man' LITERARY REVIEW The son of a rabbi,
Klemperer was by 1933 a professor of languages at Dresden. Over the
next decade he, like other German Jews, lost his job, his house and
many of his friends. Klemperer remained loyal to his country,
determined not to emigrate, and convinced that each successive Nazi
act against the Jews must be the last. Saved for much of the war
from the Holocaust by his marriage to a gentile, he was able to
escape in the aftermath of the Allied bombing of Dresden and
survived the remaining months of the war in hiding. Throughout,
Klemperer kept a diary. Shocking and moving by turns, it is a
remarkable and important account.
