The Berlin Stories

First published in the 1930s, The Berlin Stories contains two novels, The Last of Mr. Norris and Goodbye to Berlin. Classics of modern fiction, these novellas capture 1931 Berlin—charming, grotesque, and dangerous, as Hitler was ascending to power. The Berlin Stories is inhabited by a wealth of characters, in particular the nightclub performer Sally Bowles, whose misadventures were popularized on stage and screen in I Am a Camera and Cabaret.

Good re-read! Very relevant!

Once again…we consider the stakes of silence. Everyone weighs their risk… fish don’t know they are swimming… frogs don’t know they are boiling… until they do. So glad this came back up for me because we just have to keep looking even though our country is choosing this train wreck… those who do not examine the past are doomed to repeat it.
