This compelling family history spans from the 1890s to the 21st century, weaving personal stories into the broader fabric of German history to reveal a deeply moving account of survival, courage, and resilience. At the heart of this narrative is Paul Bernstein, a Jewish WWI veteran who was awarded for his bravery but ultimately perished in Auschwitz in 1944, and his wife, Johanna Moosdorf, a non-Jewish woman who fought tirelessly to protect their family. Their two half-Jewish children, Barbara and Thomas, born in the late 1930s, faced constant danger during WWII. Yet, thanks to Johannas courageous efforts and Nazi policies that treated half-Jews differently, the children survived the war.With a powerful epilogue that reflects on Germanys response to its Nazi past and its relevance to contemporary far-right movements, including those in the U.S., this book offers a timely perspective on historys echoes in todays world. This unforgettable story captures a familys fight for survival amidst one of historys darkest chapters, making it an essential read for anyone interested in personal stories of resistance and the enduring lessons of the past.
