I Sleep in Hitler’s Room: An American Jew Visits Germany (2012) by Tuvia Tenenbom is a provocative, witty, and often biting travelogue and social commentary.
The book explores modern Germany through the eyes of an outsider — a Jewish-American writer with a penchant for sharp questions, unexpected observations, and a healthy dose of irreverence.
The title I Sleep in Hitler’s Room refers to a night Tenenbom spends in a hotel that once hosted Adolf Hitler.
It serves as a metaphor for his entire experience: as a Jew wandering through a country haunted by its past, yet attempting to understand its present — unfiltered.
