About the Book

This book tells the story of my mother Marianne, a remarkable woman whose journey in life spanned three continents and who was eyewitness to many of the most important events of the 20th century. It is based upon her memoirs and her many writings, as well as family archives, and can be considered a case study of the larger German Jewish experience. The story is interwoven with historical facts, making it both a biography as well as a historical narrative.

Marianne was born in Breslau, Germany in 1908 and grew up during World War I. While attending the University of Breslau, she became a victim of the anti-Jewish racial laws passed by the Nazis during the 1930s. Marianne suffered a harrowing experience in November 1938, when she witnessed her husband being taken away to the concentration camp at Buchenwald during Kristallnacht. Incredibly, she managed to free him, and they fled to Bombay, India on one of the last available passenger ships to leave Europe prior to the outbreak of World War II. She lived in India for 14 years, where she witnessed India gain its independence from Britain and experienced the riots that took place after Gandhi was assassinated. She then immigrated to New York, where she began yet another new life, now for the third time.

The story of Marianne is one that was all too often characterized by adversity, but it is also a story of bravery, hope, perseverance, and inspiration. Events and situations that would have overwhelmed most people had exactly the opposite effect upon her. Despite the many hardships that she endured - and this was one of the many extraordinary things about Marianne - she was strong and resilient, never bitter, ever able to adapt to changing circumstances.

The type of reader who might enjoy this book includes those who were affected by Nazism and the Holocaust, those who are interested in biographies of Holocaust survivors and the effects of the Holocaust on second and third generation survivors, those who are interested in history, and those who like to read about inspiring stories.
