The Nazi Officer's Wife: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocaust

This book kept me interested and a little scared the entire time. It is an autobiography of a woman that while at a work camp managed to escape from the Nazi's. The rest of the book was how she managed to 'pass' as as an Aryan. She attracted the attention of a Nazi officer who decided he wanted to marry her. How could she refuse? Her story took many twists how she coped and when Germany was defeated - how she dealt with the Russians. She was a very brave woman and I wonder what I would have done in her situation. One of my favorite books in a long time!
