Literature and Fiction
In this riveting rediscovery written from within Nazi
Germany, a naïve young girl finds her happy-go-lucky life
impinged upon when the Führer comes to town to make a speech.
Sanna and her ravishing friend Gerti would rather speak of
love than politics, but in 1930s Frankfurt, politics cannot
be escaped— even in the lady’s bathroom. Crossing town one
evening to meet up with Gerti’s Jewish lover, a blockade
cuts off the girls’ path—it is the Fürher in a motorcade
procession, and the crowd goes mad striving to catch a
glimpse of Hitler’s raised “empty hand.” Then the parade is
over, and in the long hours after midnight Sanna and Gerti
will face betrayal, death, and the heartbreaking reality of
being young in an era devoid of innocence or romance.
