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

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, so she went underground.

She emerged in Munich as 'Grete Denner'.  There she met Werner Vetter, a Nazi Party member who fell in love with her, and despite Edith's protests (and even her eventual confession that she was Jewish), he married her anyway and kept her identity a secret.

"Edith Han Beer's story is important both as a personal testament and as an inspiring example of example of perseverance in the face of terrible adversity.” -- Publishers Weekly
