Requests:  0 Summary:  In 1921, Françoise Frenkel--a Jewish woman from Poland--fulfills a dream. She opens La Maison du Livre, Berlin's first French bookshop, attracting artists and diplomats, celebrities and poets. The shop becomes a haven for intellectual exchange as Nazi ideology begins to poison the culturally rich city. In 1935, the scene continues to darken. First come the new bureaucratic hurdles, followed by frequent police visits and book confiscations. Françoise's dream finally shatters on Kristallnacht in November 1938, as hundreds of Jewish shops and businesses are destroyed. La Maison du Livre is miraculously spared, but fear of persecution eventually forces Françoise on a desperate, lonely flight to Paris. When the city is bombed, she seeks refuge across southern France, witnessing countless horrors: children torn from their parents, mothers throwing themselves under buses. Secreted away from one safe house to the next, Françoise survives at the heroic hands of strangers risking their lives to protect her.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Biography B Frenkel Fr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.5318 Frenkel Fr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Frenkel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Frenkel Fr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Frenkel Fr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Frenkel Fr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Fr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Frenkel Fr Checked out 06/01/2024 Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Frenkel Fr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Frenkel Fr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
