The German Puzzle: My Search For The Missing Pieces

by Paul Drexler

Overview

More Americans claim ancestry from Germany than from any other nation. We speak a Germanic language, and from fairy tales to Freud, we’re surrounded by German influences. Yet America has lost touch with its German heritage. We simply can’t fathom how the land of Beethoven and Goethe could have been responsible for WW II and the Holocaust. In The German Puzzle the author recounts his own journey of rediscovery. Drawing on a unique mix of personal and family experience–ranging from schoolyard fisticuffs to the exuberance of the New Berlin–he offers us a fresh perspective on the German world, and how it shaped America.
