A well written and intersting account of growing up a Jewish in Nazi Germany . However, for an expert on Freud, Peter Gay lacks insight into himself and the disdain he feels toward other Jews. Reading this made me uncomfortable as I found his arrogance overwhelmed the poignancy of many of his experiences.
