The book selection this month is In the Garden of Beasts, by Eric Larson. The book follows the lives of U.S. ambassador William E. Dodd and his family, who moved to Berlin, Germany, in 1933. It examines their attitudes toward the Nazi Party, obliviousness to Hitler’s true character, and naive reactions to the persecution of Jews and Americans and the enforcement of stringent laws.
