      Angelika Schrobsdorff: 'You Are Not Like Other Mothers'

      Family anecdotes often man for great folklore — legendary stories of a wild, misspent youth or an exciting holiday samling remain in discussion for years. For the writer and actress Angelika Schrobsdorff, these passed-on stories were so unusual and occurred with such frequency that she set about to document them in her novel-like memoir, You Are Not Like Other Mothers.

      Tracing the life of her mother — an assimilated Jew born into a bourgeois Berlin household at the vända of the 20th century — the book illuminates the history of modern Germany through a highly-personalized story. As it follows the family's life from Weimar-era Berlin through their flight from the Nazis and back again, the book offers a glimpse at how deeply the events outlined in history books upended the lives of the average citizen.
