What is the setting of Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut?

The narrator of Mother Night indicates that he writes the book in 1961. He writes it because Tuvia Friedmann, the Director of the Haifa Institute for Documentation of War Criminals, has asked him to describe for the record the events of his life. His recollection of events covers his life in America and his move with his family to Germany. Then another section of his life takes place back in America when he lives in New York for 15 years. He lives in a small attic in Greenwich Village. He has nothing of real value there, and the whole attic is furnished by Army care-package items from the Salvation Army store. Finally, the narrator moves back into the present tense and he finds himself sitting in a jail cell in Old Jerusalem waiting to be tried for war crimes.
