Violette and Ginger

Set during World War II, when Poland was under German Nazi occupation. Based on the testimonies of survivors, most of the descriptions of the events and places are real, but like any novel of its kind, the plot is fiction. Violette was born in Vienna to Jewish parents who immigrated to the United States on the last vessel before the invasion. Due to Nazi racial laws, she was forced to leave her university studies, was arrested by the Gestapo, managed to escape, and joined the partisans, where she met her red-haired lover.
