description: Marcie Hershman's haunting Tales of the Master Race circles the streets of Kreiswald, an imaginary town in Germany, during the crucial years of the Third Reich. It takes us inside the lives of "ordinary" German citizens-Aryan men and women-marking the subtle and more overt alterations brought about by the Nazi regime. In a series of interlinked stories with overlapping characters, a devastating portrait emerges of the chance effects on everyday existence of prejudice, mass deportation, murder, and war.
