My grandmother described a book to me recently.

It was a diary of a non-practicing half-jew living in Germany in the 1930’s through WWII. He was not persecuted, but it was always hanging over his head.

I think it’s fairly new, and has yet to be released in softcover.

Does anyone know the title of this?
