This complete three-volume set of Victor Klemperer's diaries, "I Shall Bear Witness," "To the Bitter End," and "The Lesser Evil," presents one of the twentieth century's most extraordinary firsthand accounts of survival under Nazism and its aftermath. Klemperer, a Jewish academic married to an "Aryan" wife, chronicles daily existence under the Third Reich from 1933 to 1945 with unflinching detail, documenting the escalating persecution, the destruction of Dresden, and the psychological toll of living under totalitarian rule, before continuing into the divided postwar Germany of 1945 to 1959. Together these volumes stand alongside Anne Frank's diary as essential testimony, offering historians and general readers alike an unparalleled window into ordinary life amid extraordinary horror.
