Summary
Helena Abramson was born seemingly perfectāblessed with beauty, wealth, and intelligence without lacking a single thing.
But she carried one flaw in the eyes of her world: she was Jewish.
In 1930s Nazi Germany, where discrimination was rampant, Helena lost everything to the Nazi regime. From then on, she had only one goalā
to survive under their rule by living quietly, as if she were invisible.
āI will protect you with my life.ā
āAre you rejecting me because Iām Jewish? I donāt care about such things!ā
And then, without warning, two men entered her life.
āShe is more intelligent than anyone Iāve ever knownāMiss Helena.ā
One of them was the man she desired: Blak von Sponheim.
āI never believed in ālove at first sightāābut now I do.ā
The other was the man who desired her: Lucas Richter.
[Revoking German citizenship of Jews and prohibiting marriages between Jews and Germans.]
In a world where even love is forbidden under the Nuremberg Laws,
Helena chooses one man.
Even if that love leads her straight into hell.
