How do you describe horror and still get your reader to laugh hysterically? "I Sleep in Hitler's Room" by Tuvia Tenenbom achieves it on almost every page. Tenenbom describes a nation soaking in hate, yet he manages to not make you hate that nation in return. His criticism of Germany, which he finds to be affluent of anti-Semitic emotions and thoughts, is directed at the thought and the hate rather than at the people. In between, as you read this fantastic book, you can't stop laughing.
Note: You are to be a person of lavish open-mindedness, as well as one who possesses a healthy dose of funny bones, to fully appreciate and fully enjoy this world-class book. If you're closeted racist, or too serious of a person, you might miss it altogether.

Tenenbom's portrait of contemporary Germans is replete with both dark humor and sadness. Thanks to interviews with Germany's rich and famous, as well as the marginal and unknown, the writer paints a picture of a nation that is obsessed with Jews, whether during the Holocaust or today, especially vis a vis Israel. Tenenbom, an Israeli-born American, asks questions which others have avoided, and the answers are revelatory. Not only do they uncover a palpable sense of anti-Semitism, but they showcase many of the interviewees' uninformed, discriminatory views.
Don't expect data and charts. This is not a thesis, after all, but a chronicle of one man's journey through the Fatherland and the many people he interviewed while there. They range from former German chancellor Helmut Schmidt and Turkish imams to non-Jewish klezmer musicians who disdain Israeli politics.
I've been told that Germany is Israel's best friend in the EU, but this book reveals a palpable sense of anti-Semitism at large in that country. Indeed, Tenenbom had trouble getting the book published in Germany because so many Germans here spout anti-Semitic nonsense. Thankfully, the author allows his racist subjects to revel in their own stupidity, and his humorous yet eye-opening comments are the perfect fillips.

Author's reflections on travels and encounters with Germany and Germans. Quirky, opinionated, confrontational, smart, often funny.

This is a humorous look at a Jewish man from the USA who visits Germany.
He reports that antisemitism is still rampart there. He travels from city to city, interviews people from all walks of life.
He laments that everywhere he goes people are still hung up on the Jews. All they want to talk about is the Israeli/Palestine situation. He acts as though he's sick of the subject, yet if the next person he interviews doesn't bring it up, he prods them by asking what their opinion is.
I found this to be mostly a travelogue and the sharing of memories of good food by a glutton.
It's saving grace for me was his style of writing and the humor.

I admire this man's bravery and wit. He presents a most serious topic with candor and objectivity. So many people have no understanding of what is happening in the EU and the effect of "Palestinian propaganda", well funded and well disseminated, throughout the EU. If you have any wish to get the skinny and why otherwise intelligent people are duped into believing the "Palestinian Cause" is simply anti-Zionist, you must read Tenenbom. "The Cause" is a mask for virulent antisemitism spreading through out Europe.
Don't believe me-listen to what is said, as Tuvia Tenenbom interviews Europe's movers, shakers, and
Islamisists. Most had no idea their interviewer was Jewish and spoke freely.

Tell me about your vacation, where you went ,who you spoke to and maybe even what they said but never ever tell me about what you ate for lunch it's boring. I like the author he smokes (That practically makes him a freethinker these days) and seems to be a classical liberal as opposed to the new age verity. I am still not sure what makes a German tick but the problem of the German is the problem of the West. From the authors description the German churches are in a worse state of decay than in the Western world generally. When even lip service to public morality (Forget actual morality in privet life) is gone, a nation is kaput.

Somehow aggressive and ironic, interesting in a sense to read the view of someone visiting GER and writing about his ecclectic but valuable impressions. In this sense a colourful opening of the mind, but saying that living in GER, this book gives only a very narrow view.

Tuvia Tenenbom pflegt einen etwas grobschlächtigen Schreibstil, der mir das Lesen - zumindest im englischen Original - teilweise etwas schwer gemacht hat. Da das ganze aber als Reisetagebuch auf der Suche nach dem Wesen des Deutschen sowieso sehr kurzweilig gestaltet ist, fällt das nicht so sehr ins Gewicht. Viel stärker im Vordergrund stehen die zahlreichen skurrilen Begegnungen und Interviews des Journalisten mit bekannten Personen aus Medien, Kultur und Politik sowie "ganz normalen" Bürgern Deutschlands - Studenten, Antifaschisten, Arbeitslosen, Nazis, Islamisten. Bei vielen dieser Unterhaltungen braucht es kaum etwas von Tenenboms eigenem jüdischem Humor (der natürlich trotzdem genügend Raum findet) - die Gesprächspartner führen sich munter selbst vor. So wechseln sich für den Leser Momente der Wut, der Trauer, der Komik ab. Und immer wieder darf man sich (zumindest als deutscher Leser, für den das Buch ursprünglich auch geplant war) selbst und seine eigenen Einstellungen hinterfragen. Denn Tenenbom seziert vor allem gegen Ende des Buches typisch deutsche (Charakter-)Eigenschaften messerscharf - von der Vereinsmeierei, die auch in modernen Gewändern überall auftaucht über den teils latenten, teils offen zur Schau getragenen Antisemitismus bis hin zur Liebe zur Perkektion.

A great book. I really had to laugh a lot. And he's right. Most Germans are like he describes them: racist, stubborn, anti-Semites and yes they love Vereine. I recommend this book to all who want to know how most Germans are.

Book Review
I Sleep in Hitler's Room
3/5 stars
"Dated. Funny in some places, but not as good as his other works."
*******
It's a good thing that I read this book last, because if this was my first one I would not have read his others that I really did enjoy.
It is fair to say that he had not reached his peak as a writer. (It took me quite a lot of stopping and starting to finish this book. Purchased end of April and only finished at the end of December.)
The other problem is that he is making observations of German people, and I don't have enough experience with them to see them as any different from other Europeans.
His other two books that I read ("Careful, Beauties Ahead" and "Catch The Jew" focused on people that I knew very well - - which is Haredi Jews and liberal Western White people.)
So, when he was skewering them, I got all the jokes.
Not so for this book.
Tenenbom describes the interviewees in a nutshell (p.234): White, intellectual, freedom and peace fighters, who for some reason support Islamic institutions that preach the exact opposite of what they believe.
He also describes Germany's relationship with its Jews (106,000 people out of a population of 82 million--as of the time of the writing): (247) And then there are the Germans. What they protect is not the Quran or Islam, as they know nothing about either, but the kind of Islam that prevails in their society. Here are Germans who want to erase the shame of being the Jew killers of yesterday by uniting with the Jew haters of today.
Essentially, he comes to the same conclusion that a lot of people do about white tree huggers (and other such types): they hold beliefs because of what it says about them to believe such a thing, and not because they have any doxastic commitment to the idea.
If you are a person of a certain age--anywhere in the world - - I don't know how you could not know this.
Verdict: Not recommended. The book is almost 15 years old at this point, and the Germany that the author describes (one that was using its feelings about Islam as a sort of national self-actualization therapy for a nation with emotional issues) has had plenty of time to learn what it is like when they actually import 1.77 million Arabs as refugees.
Spoiler alert! It was/ is not pretty.
Other Quotes
(209) His upper lip is full of piercings, forming a metal mustache. But not only their. His lower lip is distorted from the constant weight on it. But cautious estimate, he has 50 to 60 piercings on his face. Looking at him, if you dare, is a guarantee to have nightmares three nights in a row. At least.
(263) If you stick around in this church long enough, you will discover in it a section known as the golden chamber. Here you'll find an exhibition of prayer lines that are made of human bones... painted gold and hung all over this chamber.
(267) The Opera starts. They sing. Supposedly in English, though no human ear can actually attest to it.
(284) Here is a raised stone structure..... where organs were taking out from the dead bodies before the bodies were sent to the crematorium. Sometimes a heart will be taken out for some kind of research, other times the skulls were shrunk, to fist size, and given to friends to serve as ornaments. If the dad had a nice tattoo, the skin and flesh would be cut, dried, and later made into lamp shades.

There's some typos in this book that irritating and spoiled the readability and fluidity of this interesting book, I hope he rectifies this for his future works.
My introduction to this larger-than-life journalist was “Catch The Jew!” which made such an impression to me that persuaded me to read the rest of his works. This book, while it started light-hearted and funny was no longer so by what he encountered as he progressed across the country; back and forth, and forth and back. I admired how he allows his curiosity reign freely and his audacity to satisfied it no matter what he will discovered at the end of the road; such individuals has courage, bravado, craziness maybe like no other and no doubt a champion for truth-seekers. No wonder his first publisher hell bent to change his stance. As reader, it’s better him than me to uncover such unfiltered truth for readers to ponder and contemplate in the safety of my own happy place.
Throughout this book, I felt that this adventure had turn into an emotional roller-coaster for the author. As a non-Jew I must admit my own imagination, as fertile as it were, could never amount to what it was like for a Jew like him to explore the country and its people who were responsible for the systematic killing of 6 million of his people and among them his own family members for the fact that they were born Jew in that land. I think what’s most confronting for him (and for me as well as a reader) is the attitude of the modern Germans of today's which not only inherent the Antisemitism sentiment of old but some embraced it openly. It’s sad. But as an ex-Muslim I can identify and familiar with the nonsensical anti-Semitic tendency of the Muslims towards the Jews and Israel. The saddest thing I think is that the Germans decided to align themselves with those hostiles toward the Jews and Israel, I am talking about the Arabs and Muslims in general. How disturbing is that?
The author’s thoughts on the following pages touched me most profoundly: pg. 247-249; pg. 284; pg. 291 and pg. 317
Reading this book make me think deeply about the Germans and Germany. Though I’ve contact with some Germans from different parts of Germany and had visited the country briefly, I have no idea about their group-think mentality, their shame and guilt of being born German because of their history in WWII, and their attitudes toward the Jews and Israel. Nonetheless, there's always exception to the rule as the author and I also found out. It’s shocking to me to found out the German media is not at all neutral and the limited freedom of speech and expression in Germany. It seems, just because one is a Western country it doesn’t mean liberty or freedom, or independent thinking are the ethos one live by. Perhaps this explained why the youth of Germany that I hosted in different times in my home as international student for six-month at a time are generally clueless or has no opinions about domestic and/or international current affairs and/or politics accept for having fun, technology, cars and football. In hindsight, it must be hard for some of them to live in my home and no access to beer for the duration of their stays.

The author, an Israeli American comedian and writer, traveled around Germany in 2010. He recorded his adventures with the intent of publishing a book about them. His original publisher objected to his manuscript because it presented an unflattering portrait of Germans. After much back and forth the author was able to regain control of his manuscript and publish it elsewhere in 2011.
The book is an unfiltered (or as the author refers to it uncensored) journal recording his trip and his encounters with people who live, work and reside in Germany. Some are citizens,. Others are transients and migrants. What stands out is the hatred expressed by many towards the Jews, and the lack of knowledge of religious precepts and history despite the vaulted German educational system and the incorporation of Holocaust education modules in it. Misinformation is a major problem along with scurrilous beliefs regarding the control by Jews of the banking industry and media, and even government leader, institutions and policies. This is compounded by people seeking to be politically correct leading them to be risk adverse, and fail to confront and take action against misinformation and outright expressions of hatred. They do, however, take action to avoid the appearance of being prejudiced against Palestinians and other members of the Islamic faith, and in support of Palestinian demands and those opposed to Israeli actions in Gaza. These actions, which are portrayed as manifestations of political correctness, are in reality a subterfuge for antisemitism. It is something that Germans vocally deny and dispute when confronted by the author.
It is these images that the original German publishing house did not want to present in a book because they are contrary to how Germans want to see themselves, and present themselves to the world. Unfortunately, what they wanted to hide is much more in evidence now more than ten years after the publication of this book with the rise of the AFD and other right wing neo-Nazi political parties in Germany. One also sees similar manifestations in the United States with the rise to power of Trump and his acolytes.
The major problem with this book is its length. The author says he did not include all of his encounters that substantiate his statements and opinions. However, he included so many, and describes them at such great length that the reader may find them off-putting. It might have been helpful had he condensed them, and been more succinct in making his point.

Žid vydávajúci sa za amerického počítačového analytika s nemeckými koreňmi si s majiteľom Clubu 88 dá zopár drinkov, porozpráva sa s ním o holokauste, Obamovi a vyfotí sa s tým náckom v priateľskom objatí. Potom aj o tomto zážitku napíše knihu. Je až bláznivo odvážny a jeho ironický, nekorektný ostrovtip ma strašne bavil. Pevne dúfam, že vzorka Nemcov, s ktorými robil rozhovory nie je úplne reprezentatívna, inak je jeho výpoveď o Nemecku alarmujúca. Asi aj preto mal s vydaním knihy v DE zo začiatku problém.
Určite si chcem prečítať všetky jeho knihy. A niekto by mu mohol navrhnúť, či by nechcel napísať aj o dnešnom Slovensku, Maďarsku, Poľsku. Bolo by to tiež určite zaujímavé a bolestivé počteníčko..

Long, rambling, and repetitive. I was surprised at the poor writing quality, as the author makes his living as a journalist and has published other books. I appreciate his efforts to highlight that anti-Semitism is still alive and well in Germany, but his “interviews” seemed contrived; as if he was trying to entrap his subjects into proving his point. The picture he paints of “the Germans” is more of a caricature than a nuanced portrait. Also, I’m all for mordent biting sarcasm… as long as it’s funny. In this case, it was not. If I had not been reading this book for a book club discussion I would have given up long before the end.

Velmi dobrá kniha. A dost šokující. Na některých místech mě z toho, co autor na vlastní kůži zažil, dost mrazilo, obzvláště proto, že všichni lidé, se kterými mluvil, se považovali za vysoce morální, často za nositele jediné pravdy.
Na druhou stranu se mi tato kniha - autorova prvotina - nelíbila tak moc jako jeho ostatní knihy. Je vidět, že se mu postupem času podařilo skvěle vytříbit styl, kdy méně znamená více a často je lepší nechat absurditu situace hovořit samu za sebe.

Interesting in parts, but very scattered and an odd writing style. More conversational than anything. Not exactly a story, progression not very clear. But interesting content, the level of anti-semitism still present in Germany - officially tolerant, but in practice very anti-Israel and pro the most anti-semitic groups around (Palestine and Muslim communities in Germany). Strange world out there.
June 13, 2017
Was interesting to read this alongside reading a recent news article about French/German Arte/WDR deciding not to run a documentary they commissioned about antisemitism, “Chosen and Excluded — Jew Hatred in Europe” because content was too honest.
November 8, 2022
I read this since I so loved reading Tenenbom's follow up to this, Catch the Jew. It definitely didn't disappoint. It was funny, insightful, and disconcerting to say the least. I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I enjoyed Catch the Jew, but it was still excellent.

This book was recommended by a speaker at a Holocaust Memorial Ceremony where I work. I found this book sad, humorous and informative, depending on the interviewee!

Hypocrycy of the German society is the first thing that comes to your mind when reading this book. But I guess it's not only about the German society but the Western culture at large...

Starts off pretty silly, but gradually it becomes quite interesting and profound.

This book is a doozy! Very funny but also very, very serious despite its age.

Skvělé, doporučuji.

I really like this author but this was just okay. Highs and lows. A Jewish-journalist’s point-of-view of Germany and the people he interacts with and interviews. I am sure it’s a surprise to no one that regardless of the Holocaust, antisemitism still runs rampant there. Originally published well over a decade ago, but I am sure things are the same if not worse now.

Lo stile di Tenenbom è vivacissimo e impertinente, con un sostrato d’ironia e sarcasmo che va a sostenere una certosina cura per i dettagli. Da alcuni è stato accostato a Woody Allen, a me ha ricordato il Gianni Celati di "Avventure in Africa" con quel costante senso di spaesamento e sorpresa capace di far vedere la realtà sotto luci inimmaginate ed inimmaginabili.
