The Nazi Officer's Wife by Edith Hahn Beer & Susan Dworkin Book Summary

#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 Holocaust—complex, troubling, and ultimately triumphant.

Remarkable journey. A non-fiction book that is spellbinding. Edith is a hero and her journey through the terror of world war II is uplifting. A historical and beautiful novel.

Would like more. I thoroughly enjoyed the perspective of this book. Few Jewish authors discuss life outside the concentration camp, yet that was this woman's life. It would have been nice to read more about Edith's life after Europe. It seemed like an abrupt ending, but does not change the fact that this was a great book. Certainly worth reading!

Nazi Officers Wife. Good book. Had to read for an English class and it left me hungry to continue reading stories like these. The pictures sealed the reality of this story and my heart goes out to her and her strength and courage are just amazing

Humbling. So amazing reading about her story an survival.

The Nazi Officers Wife. Not as good a I thought it would be This woman's life really doesnt depict how difficult the war was for the thousands of Eastern European Jews who were killed, displaced and permanently scarred for generations. Either she doesn't remember or she really didn't have all that bad. I don't recommend.

Awesome!. This is a wonderful book. People of my generation need to know how our lives differ from those that suffered so greatly and in so many ways.

The Nazi Officer’s Wife. The Best of Us and the Worst of Us A perspective of the WWII Jew that is bone chilling and unique. One of the bravest heroines to appear in literature in a long time. A must read on so many levels.

The Nazi Officer’s Wife. I totally enjoyed reading about the life of this courages woman during WW2. It is a shame that people were murdered because of their religion and ethnicity.

Outstanding. I could not put this novel down. What an inspiring and yet heart wrenching story. I was growing up in the USA while Edith was living through this Nazi horror. This is a must read.

Amazing. I loved this book. It's crazy to read something like this and understand people actually went through these horrific periods in history. One thing that this book made me understand is that most people did not know or understand the Final Solution until the end of the war. Amazing book. Must read.

The Nazi Officer's Wife. The best book I have read in awhile. I couldn't put in down and read it in one day. Not only details what it was like to be Jewish in Nazi controlled countries but, also reveals something of what it was like there as a German.

Astounding. An absolutely astounding tale, I think you sincerely for sharing your incredible story of survival. Stories like yours will never be forgotten.

Intriguing. Indeed I concur, one of the best books I've ever read. So many different elements impeccably strung together--a must read...

Loved this story!. What a life story! I didn't want it to end. Told so well.

Could not put it down. A truly well written memoir.

Good book!. A little disjointed --but generally a good book!

Hiding in Plain Sight. The Nazi Officer's Wife tells an amazing story of survival during WW II. Anyone who wants to learn how some were able to live through the horrors of Nazi Germany's persecution of Europe's Jewish population. A well written account of how one woman used her skills to avoid death and to retain her humanity.

What a great book.. When reading this I could hardly put it down. Very well written.

Why don't they have kids read this in high school?. Great story of a Jewish woman from Austria in WWII, who has hitlers nazis coming to power around her, and her journey to survive.

Sl8. I have read many books on this subject and still cannot come to terms with the fact that these atrocities occurred only such a short time ago. This is the first book I have read of a Jewish survivor who managed to evade the concentration camps. You constantly have to remind yourself that this is non fiction, beautifully told. Memories of those lost will be kept alive with these beautiful stories.

Great read. Beautifully account of time which would have been difficult to look back on - let alone share. Fantastic book
