I learned so much from "Time's Echo". Eichler's writing about music, memory, and the mass murder of Jews is informed by both his broad historical contextualisation and the specific details he includes, often drawn from his own visits to places important to the music he discusses. An example of the broad historical contextualisation would be his account of the significance of music to German Jews and their aspiration to Bildung, while the author's visit to Garmish - Partenkirchen sheds light on the ambiguities and compromises of Richard Strauss's career under the Third Reich.
