DIVIDED LIVES
The Untold Stories of Jewish-Christian Women in Nazi Germany

Link to Us!

DIVIDED LIVES uncovers the hidden life stories of ten women, children of Jewish-Christian marriages, whose families were persecuted during Hitler's Third Reich. These women, the Mischlinge ("half-breeds"), suffered the onslaught of anti-Jewish laws that divided spouses, families, and friends. From the early Nazi years through post-war Germany, this compelling, personal chronicle reveals the secret horrors these women endured as they struggled to survive in a nation that had betrayed them.

"Sensitive oral histories of the suffering of Hitler's tainted Aryans... Gives a voice to the neglected Mischlings and provides a significant record of both wartime and postwar Germany." Kirk u s Reviews

"Impassioned...insightful...a gripping narrative...Divided Lives is a well-written, intelligent must-read."

Elie Wiesel
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
