Waiting hall. Book 2. The Opperman Family

Waiting hall. Book 2. The Opperman Family

Written almost as the National Socialist Party consolidated power over Germany in the winter of 1933, anti-fascist writer Lion Feuchtwanger's novel The Oppermann Family depicts the fall of the Weimar Republic through the eyes of a wealthy bourgeois Jewish family... shocked and paralyzed by the new dominant ideology.
The Oppermann brothers are true pillars of society and the personification of loyalty to tradition and stability in the spirit of the Weimar era: one of them owns a furniture company founded by their grandfather, the other is an outstanding surgeon, the third is a respected writer. Wealthy, cultured people, proud heirs of the ideas of German liberalism, the Oppermanns for a long time do not see a threat in the Nazi party striving for power, but, once under its rule, they, like their children, are faced with a terrible choice: try to adapt to the new order, flee or rise to a desperate fight...
