Yet even this remote idyll could not escape the brutal iron grip of the Nazi regime. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From the author of the international bestseller \u003ci\u003eTravelers in the Third Reich\u003c\/i\u003e comes \u003ci\u003eA Village in the Third Reich\u003c\/i\u003e, shining a light on the lives of ordinary people.

We meet the Jews who survived - and those who didn't; the Nazi mayor who tried to shield those persecuted by the regime; and a blind boy whose life was judged \"not worth living.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is a tale of conflicting loyalties and desires, of shattered dreams--but one in which, ultimately, human resilience triumphs.
