Synopsis

Early in his life, Robert Kahn heard the psychologically threatening taunt “Go back from where you came from!” History is again repeating itself, as people of increasing diversity are hearing and feeling that very same thing again today—“don’t think you are really one of us.”

In his memoir, Kahn deals with matters of great concern. The content is compelling, however it is the ending that presents intrigue. With a background in pre Nazi Germany, this book is a haunting commentary on our recent political structure.

With the strong desire of some to change our system of government into a one-party legislature, Kahn theorizes that we are dangerously heading towards other countries with this type of Government. This path could lead to the destruction of our 225-year Democracy. Let us not make this mistake that has been the path of those that chose to ignore that we are different.

Just as an X-ray can disclose both health and hazard beneath the surface, radiologist Robert Kahn’s Roentgen and Me reveals the happiness, hurt and hope that quietly undergird a remarkable family history bookended by German fascism and America’s era of authoritarianism.
