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

The Nazi Officer's Wife: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocaust by Edith Hahn Beer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just noticed this is available today as an Amazon E-Book for $1.99 if you're interested.

Never thought I'd like, or even bother reading another Holocaust book; however this nonfiction book was well worth my time. This story is told by a Jewish woman survivor who took numerous chances to hide her identity in order to survive. It provides background on ordinary people during extraordinary times. It reads much like an historical novel but knowing it is nonfiction gave it more credibility. This is a Hart Park Book Club selection to be discussed April, 2015.
