The Living and the Lost Book Review

“The Living and the Lost ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. Millie (Meike) Mosbach and her brother David, manage to escape to the States just before Kristallnacht, leaving their parents and little sister in Berlin. Millie attends Bryn Mawr on a special scholarship for non-Aryan German girls and graduates to a magazine job in Philadelphia. David enlists in the army and is eventually posted to the top-secret Camp Ritchie in Maryland, which trains German-speaking men for intelligence work. Now they are both back in their former hometown, haunted by ghosts and hoping against hope to find their family. Millie, works in the office responsible for rooting out the most dedicated Nazis from publishing; she is consumed with rage at her former country and its citizens, though she is finding it more difficult to hate in proximity. David works trying to help displaced persons build new lives, while hiding his more radical nighttime activities from his sister. Like most of their German-born American colleagues, they suffer from conflicts of rage and guilt at their own good fortune, except for Millie’s boss, Major Harry Sutton, who seems much too eager to be fair to the GermansThe Living and the Lost by Ellen Feldman

Brief Summary The Living and the Lost by Ellen Feldman

This story was absolutely heart wrenching and also depressing, truth be told, until Millie began to deal with her past. It was very hard to like her at first; you could understand her hatred because of the way the Third Reich and many German citizens treated the Jews, but all she saw was black and white. When she requisitioned a home and turned a woman and her child out, she had absolutely no sympathy. Millie had some emotional breaks when at the train station, as she was assaulted by memories. Major Sutton always appeared when Millie needed help, and seemed to understand her internal conflict. David worked hard with the displaced persons, but he kept his noble nocturnal activities from his sister; she believed he was fraternizing with the Frauleins. Major Sutton was by far my favorite character; he had his own past he had to deal with that helped him understand Millie. One is battered reading about the concentration and death camps, plus the rape of German women by the Soviet soldiers.
