A darkly comic and deeply moving memoir of a New York City lost to timeFrom the final days of the Brooklyn Dodgers in the mid-1950s to the arrival of the Beatles in 1964, Bobby in Naziland is an unsentimental journey through one Brooklyn neighborhood. Though a 20-minute and 15-cent subway ride from the skyscrapers of Manhattan, Flatbush remained provincial and working-classa place where Auschwitz survivors and WWII vets lived side by side and the war lingered like a mass hallucination.Meet Bobby, a local kid who shares a shabby apartment with his status-conscious mother and bigoted father, a soda jerk haunted by memories of the Nazi death camp he helped liberate. Flatbush, to Bobby, is a world of brawls with neighborhood punks, Hebrew-school tales of Adolf Eichmanns daring capture, and grade-school duck-and-cover drills.
