The Girl from Berchtesgaden: An epic wartime thriller as German Jews fight for survival

by Kim Rigby, Alistair Birch

Overview

In early 1930s Germany, life for the Stiepermann family was simple yet idyllic. Artistic Ingrid and her inventive brother Dieter loved the freedom of the Bavarian Alps, but that was before the Jew haters surfaced in their society.

Fueled by Nazi ideologies, Stefan Weiss and his friends suppress and destroy anyone who opposes their beliefs.

While one family battles for supremacy, another is torn apart.

Fleeing the tyranny, Ingrid, and her brother escape to London. Seemingly safe from danger, can Ingrid save her family as war threatens?

Editorial Reviews

This book is a whirlwind of emotions, cheering, happiness, rooting for characters and also a bit of wishing you could flick a few characters out of existence.
