The Nazi Officer's Wife by Edith Hahn Beer

She saved every document, as well as photographs she took inside labor camps. She tells how German officials casually questioned the lineage of her parents how during childbirth she refused all painkillers, afraid that in an altered state of mind she might reveal something of her past and how, after her husband was captured by the Soviets, she was bombed out of her house and had to hide while drunken Russian soldiers raped women on the street.ĭespite the risk it posed to her life, Edith created a remarkable record of survival.

In wrenching detail, Edith recalls a life of constant, almost paralyzing fear. Despite Edith's protests and even her eventual confession that she was Jewish, he married her and kept her identity a secret. There she met Werner Vetter, a Nazi Party member who fell in love with her. With the help of a Christian friend, she emerged in Munich as Grete Denner. When she returned home months later, she knew she would become a hunted woman and went underground. TolkienĮdith Hahn was an outspoken young woman in Vienna when the Gestapo forced her into a ghetto and then into a slave labor camp.
