"The Kommandant’s Girl," by Pam Jenoff

Nineteen-year-old Emma Bau is newly married when the Nazis storm Poland and her young husband is forced underground, leaving her alone in the Jewish ghetto.  But when the Resistance smuggles her out and gives her a new identity as a Polish gentile, she believes she is safe -- until a high-ranking Nazi officer forces her into a dangerous double life, which she must navigate amid the atrocities of the war in order to survive.

Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence, will lead the discussion.

We will meet on Wednesday, February 19, at 1:00 p.m. on Zoom.
