Welcome to a world of sneaky elephants and high-jumping horses, of trick ropers, escaped ostriches, and Indian dancers. There is a grandmother who tells fortunes and a grandson who rides Roman style. But what goes on behind the scenes is even more fascinating. Brewer Brothers Circus is owned and operated by Gypsies, ethnic Gypsies, their own tribe of people who speak a strange dialect. But they can never risk prejudice by admitting their heritage. They are key performers on the show along with seventy people from all over the world. Getting over bad roads to do two shows a day with a smile is just a norm. It is the time of the Great Depression, that sad period in American history. Lines of hungry hobos wait at soup kitchens. People crave escape from their dreary lives. They shell out nickels and dimes to see a circus full of wonder and surprise. It's a once-a-year opportunity.Every day a new town brings new hopes and challenges, maybe with good cops or maybe with bad cops. The Brewers know how to turn bad luck into a publicity stunt and how to negotiate tricky border crossings so that the show can go on. The family is the key to success and survival, first the Gypsy family, and then the larger family of show folks they have hired. They are all trying to stick together in a world falling apart.The author weaves together stories of his own family and ancestors, stories heard in his childhood around a fire when it was way past bedtime. The product himself of a Gypsy heritage and a circus childhood, he takes the reader back to the decade before he was born, the Depression years, when the stories were the best, when it sometimes seemed hopeless, when a relentless eye on opportunity was the order of the day. He interprets these stories for people who aren't Gypsies and who never put up a circus bigtop. It will soon be a century since this world was real, but the people must never be forgotten. The stories must never die.

The Brewer Family is very wealthy, wealthy in terms of resourcefulness, cohesion, loyalty, and love -- the things that really matter. Can their circus survive another season in the heart of the Great Depression, a season when townspeople are poorer then ever and the Dust Bowl is covering some of their best towns? The Brewers and the diverse people they hire are skilled performers, and their performing elephants, horses and menagerie of exotic animals are a big draw. The Depression is at its worst, and people want escape from their dreary lives more than ever. The Brewers try to provide enough fantasy and glamor to get enough people into the bigtop and enough money so that the show can go on.

At the turn of the century, German popular entertainment was a realm of unprecedented opportunity for Jewish performers. This study explores the terms of their engagement and pays homage to the many ways in which German Jews were instrumental in the birth of an incomparably rich world of popular culture. It traces the kaleidoscope of challenges, opportunities and paradoxes Jewish men and women faced in their interactions with predominantly gentile audiences. Modern Germany was a society riddled by conflicts and contradictory impulses, continuously torn between desires to reject, control and celebrate individual and collective difference. This book demonstrates that an analysis of popular entertainment can be one of the most innovative ways to trace this complicated negotiation throughout a period of great social and political turmoil.

The pervasive evil of the rape and murder of the circus owners only baby girl hangs over the company for years. Was it one of their own? Will he ever be caught? This one death of a little 6-year old blonde angel drives a detective, baffles a seer, frightens all who loved her and causes the suicide of her mother and still another death. There is more than just murder. There is redemption, love, dreams that come true, unlikely accomplishments, happiness, sorrow, and loves that seem impossible, loyalty and yet, will justice ever come to the person or persons unknown who did this murder more than most foul? The mid thirties was a difficult time for most Americans, especially for those who were physical or social misfits. The circus was a perfect haven for such people. It attracted the rif-raff, the talented, the strange, the needy and even the good, and most certainly, the evil. A different kind of "Who Done It."

National Book Award Finalist: Never before has the mentality of the average German under the Nazi regime been made as intelligible to the outsider.” —The New York TImes They Thought They Were Free is an eloquent and provocative examination of the development of fascism in Germany. Milton Mayer’s book is a study of ten Germans and their lives from 1933-45, based on interviews he conducted after the war when he lived in Germany. Mayer had a position as a research professor at the University of Frankfurt and lived in a nearby small Hessian town which he disguised with the name “Kronenberg.” These ten men were not men of distinction, according to Mayer, but they had been members of the Nazi Party; Mayer wanted to discover what had made them Nazis. His discussions with them of Nazism, the rise of the Reich, and mass complicity with evil became the backbone of this book, an indictment of the ordinary German that is all the more powerful for its refusal to let the rest of us pretend that our moment, our society, our country are fundamentally immune. A new foreword to this edition by eminent historian of the Reich Richard J. Evans puts the book in historical and contemporary context. We live in an age of fervid politics and hyperbolic rhetoric. They Thought They Were Free cuts through that, revealing instead the slow, quiet accretions of change, complicity, and abdication of moral authority that quietly mark the rise of evil.
