Small details about everyday injustices that I hadn't heard of before. Also, makes it easier to understand why some did not flee. ( ) Interesting book of how a Jewish woman survived the holocaust by marrying a Nazi. The book describes the horrors and constant fear she lived through during the war. I found it interesting that before the Nazis came to power, the author supported the communist party in Germany. Then after the war, when the Russians took over her city, she soon had to escape from communism. Appreciate and protect your freedom. Fascinating life story of a Jewish woman who became a "U-boat," a survivor in the Nazi time who used false identity papers. She eventually married a Nazi officer who did not seem to mind that she was Jewish at first. After the war she worked as a family judge in Berlin and moved to England and remarried. Shows complications of real life and living a lie, and staying true to herself in an evil time. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

HTML: #1 New York Times Bestseller Edith Hahn was an outspoken young woman in Vienna when the Gestapo forced her into a ghetto and then into a slave labor camp. When she returned home months later, she knew she would become a hunted woman and went underground. With the help of a Christian friend, she emerged in Munich as Grete Denner. There she met Werner Vetter, a Nazi Party member who fell in love with her. Despite Edith's protests and even her eventual confession that she was Jewish, he married her and kept her identity a secret. In wrenching detail, Edith recalls a life of constant, almost paralyzing fear. She tells how German officials casually questioned the lineage of her parents; how during childbirth she refused all painkillers, afraid that in an altered state of mind she might reveal something of her past; and how, after her husband was captured by the Soviets, she was bombed out of her house and had to hide while drunken Russian soldiers raped women on the street. Despite the risk it posed to her life, Edith created a remarkable record of survival. She saved every document, as well as photographs she took inside labor camps. Now part of the permanent collection at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., these hundreds of documents, several of which are included in this volume, form the fabric of a gripping new chapter in the history of the Holocaustâ??complex, troubling, and ultimately triumphant.
