Postcards to Hitler by Bruce Neuburger Brings Untold Stories of Jewish Resistance to Light
Postcards to Hitler is a true story of one family’s fight against fascism and the lessons we must heed. In this powerful book, Bruce Neuburger—grandson of Holocaust survivors—brings to light a gripping narrative of Jewish resistance in Nazi Germany. Through the lens of his own family’s history, Neuburger uncovers untold stories of courage and defiance in the face of escalating fascism.
As global threats of hatred, discrimination, and authoritarianism continue to rise, Postcards to Hitler offers a timely and urgent reminder of the importance of standing up to oppression. The book chronicles the lives of Neuburger’s grandparents, Benno and Anna Neuburger, as they navigate the increasingly dangerous landscape of Munich during the Nazi regime. Through personal family stories, interviews, and archival research, Neuburger challenges the narrative of Jewish passivity during the Holocaust, highlighting the resistance efforts that took place under the most perilous conditions. Importantly, the book also frames the Nazi era in the broader context of the conflict between colonialist powers that tore Europe apart in the early and middle of the 20th century.
“This book is more than just a family memoir,” said Neuburger. “It’s a call to action. The lessons of history are clear—when hatred and discrimination are allowed to flourish, the consequences are catastrophic. We must learn from the past to confront the injustices of today.”
The book’s recent release as an audiobook version adds an additional avenue for readers to experience this important work, making it more accessible for a wider audience.
In addition to its historical significance, Postcards to Hitler serves as an essential tool for educators, historians, and activists who are grappling with current issues of social justice. As fascism and other forms of hate resurface globally, Neuburger’s work offers valuable insight into the human capacity for resistance and the moral imperative to act in the face of injustice.
