The Past in Hiding by Mark Roseman
The author talks to an elderly refugee from Germany about her life in a wealthy Jewish family during the 1930s and about her escape from the Holocaust. There is also evidence from her family papers, photos, diaries, invoices letters and interviews from friends and family.
"* "The Past in Hiding" is as raw as history, as subtle and fascinating as a fine novel, and as mysterious as life" Stanley Hoffman * "This is one of the most compelling Holocaust stories I have read..it is not just her [Marianne's] story that is fascinating, but the way that Mark Roseman tells it. He never writes as an impartial observer, but allows his analysis to inform the story. This sense of the author as modern commentator lends to a picaresque history a very special importance." Julia Pascal, The Independent."
Mark Roseman is Senior Lecturer in History at Keele University. His book on the Wannsee Conference: The Villa, the Lake, The Meeting will also be published by Penguin Press in June 2001.
