What is Born Jewish: A Childhood In Occupied Europe; Trans. By Liz Heron about?

Eminent Marxist intellectual recounts class struggles in Nazi-torn Belgium Marcel Liebman was one of post-war Europes preeminent Marxist intellectuals. This, his memoir of Nazi-occupied Belgium, is both an elegy and an indictment. Liebmans account of his childhood in Brussels under the Nazi occupation explores the emergence of his class-consciousness against a background of resistance and collaboration. He documents the internal class war that has long been hidden from how the Nazi persecution exploited class distinctions within the Jewish community, and how certain Jewish notables collaborated in a systematic programme of denunciation and deportation against immigrant Jews who lacked the privileges of wealth and citizenship. Born Jewish is a fierce, powerful and subtle account of the Liebman familys struggle to survive persecution and terror, a story rich with insight, humour and lyricism.
