The Nazi Officer's Wife by Edith Hahn Beer with Susan Dworkin | Includes Analysis Preview: Chapter One Hahn was hiding in plain sight in Germany in the fall of 1943, which made her what hidden Jews called a U-boat. She was twenty-nine, a Jewish law student on the run, but she was able to pose as a Viennese girl of twenty. She got a job as a nurse’s aide at a Brandenburg hospital and lived with her ambitious German fiancé, Werner, who was about to join the Wehrmacht. Hahn was terrified that anything she did might expose her, such as sounding too intelligent, standing out in a crowd or being too kind to any of the 10,000 slave laborers in the area when they were taken to the hospital. Anyone could be an informer. PLEASE NOTE: This is summary and analysis of the book and NOT the original book.
