Faridul Haque Haque من عند نيويورك من عند نيويورك

Jumped into this series with this book, and enjoyed it without having to read anything earlier in the series.

A powerful work. I am thinking about it again as I read its sequel, The Years of Extermination. To my mind, Nazi Germany was able to nearly carry out its act of genocide by removing first the citizenship and then the humanity of the Jewish people. They also counted on the acceptance of both their own and other European peoples of this action. It is a warning that we must always be wary of labeling people as "the other", whether it be American Muslims looking to build a cultural center in New York City or seeking to revise the 14th Amendment to "protect" us from "anchor babies" or "terror babies".
