Those Who Forget: One Family's Story; A Memoir, a History, a Warning

This book is an eye opener. It is a must-read as we encounter ever increasing jingoism in the world today

The author presents many essential insights into the ways in which Europe and the West have dealt with the legacy of National Socialism and the Holocaust. Her perspectives benefit from her examination of her Franco Germanic family histories and from her trans national education providing the reader with clear insights into how Germany, France, Italy and Britain have dealt with their recent past, or not.

Excellent book with very detailed account of how war affects ordinary people and a very good explanation of how we need to own our involvement in the actions taken by our government. Well written and an extremely enlightening read!

Gave as a gift and the recipient was delighted.

A very thought provoking book - An inside account of how her own french family reacted to the German occupationAlso her father in law who was a member of the Nazi Party`A very good historical account of Germany right up to the present day

... on Germany I have ever read! Excellently researched, balanced, shedding a light into every nook and cranny of German - and at that: French - history, by being gripping like pageturner throughout. That is something few textbooks I've read have achieved. Geraldine Schwartz is very obviously a historian of the most discerning and accurate kind. I can but take my hat off to her for coming up with such a brilliant study. What an achievement!
