A spell-binding story of love, family, and sacrifice that chronicles the life of a Jewish family living through Nazi-dominated Germany.
An epic and haunting story set in the city of Nuremberg, There Was a Garden in Nuremberg brings to light the unheard voices of ordinary people as they navigate the peril of Nazi Germany. Based on the author's family history.
Harrowing and illuminating, Navina Clemerson’s There Was a Garden in Nuremberg is a powerful reminder of the devastation that shaped Germany with the rise of the Nazi regime. Focusing on one Jewish family, the novel describes the gradual strangling and decimation of Nuremberg’s once thriving Jewish community, which culminated in the demolition of Nuremberg’s synagogue, and in November 1938, the horror of an infamous nationwide pogrom.
Why did they not leave when they still could? What kept them in Nazi Germany?
There was a Garden in Nuremberg shares the intimate experiences of people forcefully swept into a maelstrom of violence and inhumanity.
