A review by arthur_pendrgn
A Bookshop in Berlin: The Rediscovered Memoir of One Woman's Harrowing Escape from the Nazis by Françoise Frenkel

3.0

The first half reads as a history book than as a memoir. It is a chronology, which omits the fact that she was married. The second half allows us to know Francoise better. This is not a criticism; merely an observation. She certainly paints pictures of the French character and its war-time racism that most tomes skim. I would like to know how she fared in Switzerland.
