One brother oversees the furniture chain founded by their grandfather, one is an eminent surgeon, one a respected critic. They are rich, cultured, liberal, and public spirited, proud inheritors of the German enlightenment. They don't see Hitler as a threat. Then, to their horror, the Nazis come to power, and the Oppermanns and their children are faced with the terrible decision of whether to adapt--if they can--flee, or try to fight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written in 1933, nearly in real time, \u003ci\u003eThe Oppermanns\u003c\/i\u003e captures the day-to-day vertigo of watching a liberal democracy fall apart.
