I was drawn to this book by the topic, Nazi-looted books and the work of Allies, including the Library of Congress, to return (and plunder) the books. However,, that was largely a framework for three timelines of connected stories about Germans who were resisters. It centers their stories as heroes, marginalizes Jewish stories and characters, and gives explanations for why many were forced into participating in Nazi groups.
Overall, not what I expected and I'm disappointed in the focus.
