The Secret Jew of Munich: The heart-breaking suspenseful WW2 story of a young girl who hides from the Nazis by living in Munich with the Nazis

A beautiful story of wartime survival, this is the romantic love story about a young Austrian Jewish girl who survives WWII by hiding from the Nazis whilst living amongst them in Hitler’s Munich.There was a knock on the door of the apartment. She looked through the spyglass to see two Gestapo officers standing there. What did they want, had they come for her? Had she been discovered after all this time? Was she about to lose everything, including her life?Rebecca was a beautiful teenager with many friends who loved her. However, for her, life as a young Austrian woman would change dramatically when her country was invaded by the Nazis, resulting in Austria being annexed on the 11th of March 1938.The problem for Rebecca was that even though her family were not at all religious, her papers contained the word “Juden.” This word alone was enough to make her life impossible, for in the eyes of the Nazis, as a Jew she was the enemy.Her friends rallied, all wanting to help. Her best friend was an artist and he made fake papers for her by copying those of another friend, but the two girls could not live in the same city, Vienna.For this reason, Rebecca moves to live with her friend’s relations, in of all places, Munich, the birth place of the Nazis. Here she will spend the entire war years hiding from the Nazis by living amongst them whilst working and socialising with them – all the time hiding in plain sight.Read more
