Book Description: The year is 1938, and as Hitler’s troops sweep into Vienna, Austrian Max Dornbach promises to help his Jewish friends hide their most valuable possessions from the Nazis, smuggling them to his family’s summer estate near the picturesque village of Hallstatt. He enlists the help of Annika Knopf, his childhood friend and the caretaker’s daughter, who is eager to help the man she’s loved her entire life. But when Max also brings Luzia Weiss, a young Jewish woman, to hide at the castle, it complicates Annika’s feelings and puts their entire plan―even their very lives―in jeopardy. Especially when the Nazis come to scour the estate and find both Luzia and the treasure gone.
My Thoughts: I love to read about WWII. the way people of one faith helped others of a persecuted faith really makes my eyes well up with tears of faith and gratitude.
Because Hitler and his armies sweep into Vienna, Austria Max Dornbach enlists the aide of his friend, Annika Knopf, to help save his Jewish friends and a lot of their valuables.
Wow! And Wow again!
Some things seem easier said than done as Max soon finds out.
Not only is Annika there to help him but he decides that Luzia should hide out at the estate too. Only Luzia is a Jew.
And it seems that Annika has loved Max for a very long time so when Luzia arrives Annika's feelings can put all of The hiding Jews and the valuables in great jeopardy.
Oh! I loved this story!
