博客來Gretel�� Story is the spellbinding account of a free-spirited young woman in a world where few dared to speak up. Living in Hamburg, Germany, Gretel Wachtel witnessed the disappearance of her best friend during Kristallnacht, the infamous night of atrocities against the Jewish population in 1938, and endured constant bombing of her beloved city. An unguarded anti-Nazi comment resulted in her being forced to work in an ammunition factory, but she never lost her desire to fight the totalitarian regime.
She married a resistance fighter, helped a priest to protect those hunted by the Gestapo, hid her Jewish doctor in her home, and passed secrets to the resistance, and in 1945 was arrested and taken to an internment camp. Gretel Wachtel was an ordinary person thrust into extraordinary circumstances, one whose wartime experiences are nothing short of astonishing.
