Description

A moving and unforgettable historical novel, The German Girl by Armando Lucas Correa explores family, survival, love, and the devastating consequences of persecution during the Second World War.

In 1939 Berlin, twelve-year-old Hannah Rosenthal and her Jewish family face growing danger as Nazi persecution intensifies. Hoping to escape Germany, they board the St. Louis, a passenger ship carrying Jewish refugees to Cuba. What begins as a journey toward safety soon becomes a desperate struggle when the passengers discover that the refuge they were promised may not be available.

Decades later, in New York City, twelve-year-old Anna Rosen receives a mysterious package from her elderly great-aunt Hannah in Cuba. Intrigued by her family's hidden past, Anna and her mother travel to Havana, where long-buried secrets begin to emerge.

Moving between two generations and different periods of history, this powerful novel examines displacement, prejudice, family bonds, and the lasting impact of choices made during times of crisis.
