Liebman Marcel - Born Jewish A Childhood In Occupied Europe - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Eminent Marxist intellectual recounts class struggles in Nazi - torn Belgium Marcel Liebman was one of post - war Europe's preeminent Marxist intellectuals. This his memoir of Nazi - occupied Belgium is both an elegy and an indictment. Liebman's account of his childhood in Brussels under the Nazi occupation explores the emergence of his class - consciousness against a background of resistance and collaboration. He documents the internal class war that has long been hidden from history: how the Nazi persecution exploited class distinctions within the Jewish community and how certain Jewish notables collaborated in a systematic programme of denunciation and deportation against immigrant Jews who lacked the privileges of wealth and citizenship. Born Jewish is a fierce powerful and subtle account of the Liebman family's struggle to survive persecution and terror a story rich with insight humour and lyricism.
