Inspired by the experiences and stories of Erika Dreifus's paternal grandparents, the eloquent stories in Quiet Americans explore the lives and memories of German Jews who arrived in the United States in the late 1930s as well as the impact they had on future generations. A 2012 Sophie Brody Medal Honor for "outstanding Jewish literature," the book was also recognized as a Notable Book by the Jewish Journal and as a Top Small-Press Book by Shelf Unbound, among others. The Blue Card Fund, which assists U.S.-based survivors and their families who are in need, will receive a portion of the sales proceeds.
