"This is an extraordinary memoir. It is a work of high intelligence and deep feeling. Both the general reader and the specialized scholars will gain much from it."
Samuel Haber, Ph.D.
Professor of History, Emeritus

"Dr. Kuhn doesn't see the world in black and white; her multifaceted account of her relations with ordinary Germans is one of the most humane descriptions I have read of the Second World War. History doesn't get more intimate than this."
Yonatan Shemmer, Ph.D.
Professor of Philosophy
University of Sheffield.
"We are fortunate to have Broken Glass Broken Lives... Readers be forewarned, however. In Rita Kuhn's world view, everyone, including a German, is an individual."
