Publisher Description
Professional actors Veit Harlan and his wife Kristi are happy citizens of the prosperous, triumphant Reich. It's been over a century since the War of Retribution cleaned up Europe, long enough that now curious tourists flock to the painstakingly recreated "village" of Wawolnice, where--along with dozens of colleagues--Veit and Kristi re-enact the daily life of the long-exterminated but still frightening "Jews."
Veit and Kristi are true professionals, proud of their craft. They've learned all there is to know about this vanished way of life. They know the dead languages, the turns of phrase, the prayers, the manners, the food. But now they're beginning to learn what happens when you immerse yourself long enough in something real...in Harry Turtledove's Shtetl Days.

Customer Reviews
Outstanding in every respect
Shtetl Days is alternative history at its best. It gives a look at things that remain constant, enduring, and eternal despite changed history, rather than dwelling on the the things that have altered. It reverses the usual formula for such stories, brilliantly.
