Those Who Forget Book Reviews
Those Who Forget by Géraldine Schwarz Book Summary
“[Makes] the very convincing case that, until and unless there is a full accounting for what happened with Donald Trump, 2020 is not over and never will be.” —The New Yorker
“Riveting…we can never be reminded too often to never forget.” —The Wall Street Journal
Journalist Géraldine Schwarz’s astonishing memoir of her German and French grandparents’ lives during World War II “also serves as a perceptive look at the current rise of far-right nationalism throughout Europe and the US” (Publishers Weekly).
During World War II, Géraldine Schwarz’s German grandparents were neither heroes nor villains; they were merely Mitlaüfer—those who followed the current. Once the war ended, they wanted to bury the past under the wreckage of the Third Reich.
Decades later, while delving through filing cabinets in the basement of their apartment building in Mannheim, Schwarz discovers that in 1938, her paternal grandfather Karl took advantage of Nazi policies to buy a business from a Jewish family for a low price. She finds letters from the only survivor of this family (all the others perished in Auschwitz), demanding reparations. But Karl Schwarz refused to acknowledge his responsibility. Géraldine starts to question the past: How guilty were her grandparents? What makes us complicit? On her mother’s side, she investigates the role of her French grandfather, a policeman in Vichy.
Weaving together the threads of three generations of her family story with Europe’s process of post-war reckoning, Schwarz explores how millions were seduced by ideology, overcome by a fog of denial after the war, and, in Germany at least, eventually managed to transform collective guilt into democratic responsibility. She asks: How can nations learn from history? And she observes that countries that avoid confronting the past are especially vulnerable to extremism. Searing and unforgettable, Those Who Forget “deserves to be read and discussed widely...this is Schwarz’s invaluable warning” (The Washington Post Book Review).

Required Reading. Written by a young French-German journalist, Those Who Forget, is a literate, well-researched reaction to the increased willingness of large segments of the world’s population to deny, to forget, to evade responsibility of addressing the consequences of history… from the holocaust to slavery. “It didn’t happen on my watch,” “I am not responsible for the past,” are arguments that deny the flow of history and the weight of morality. Keep smilin’
Highly Important and Riveting. This is one of the most important books of this or an year. If you care about our democracy vans the importance of not letting history repeat itself, if you’re worried about the rise of extremist groups and leadership that encourages them, if you care about your children’s future..... read this important work. It’s riveting and eye opening.
