The Book Blurb Says: Edith Hahn was an outspoken young woman in Vienna when the Gestapo forced her into a ghetto and then into a labero camp. When she returned home months later, she knew she would become a hunted woman and went underground. With the help of a Christian firend, 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, her married her and kept her identity a secret. In wrenching detail, Edith recalls a life of constant, almost paralyizing fear...Yet despite the risk it posed to her life, Edith created a remarkable record of survival.
I say: An engrossing bit of history - replete with biography, documents, papers, photographs (all now part of the Halocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC). There's a lot to be learned from this woman.
