A Bookshop in Berlin - One Womans Flight from the Nazis
Author(s): Françoise Frenkel
In 1921, Franoise Frenkel - a Jewish woman from Poland - opens Berlin's first French bookshop. It is a dream come true. The bookshop attracts artists and diplomats, celebrities and poets. It brings Franoise peace, friendship and prosperity. Then, in the summer of 1939, the dream ends and Franoise begins a desperate, headlong flight from Nazi persecution.
Unfolding in Berlin, Paris and against the stunning landscapes of southern France, A Bookshop in Berlin is a heartbreaking tale of human cruelty and unending kindness - and of a woman whose lust for life refuses to leave her, even in her darkest hours.
