Devil in Vienna

This poignant historical fiction, based on the author's own experiences, is presented as the journal of Inge Dornenwald, a Jewish teenager living in Vienna from late 1937 to early 1938. Inge documents her cherished friendship with Catholic Lieselotte Vesseley, a bond that began when they were seven. The narrative vividly portrays the escalating antisemitism and the terrifying changes in Austria as Nazi power rises, threatening Jewish families like Inge's. It also highlights the courageous efforts of some Roman Catholic priests who risked their lives to help Jewish individuals escape persecution. This book is a powerful exploration of friendship, prejudice, and resilience during a dark chapter of history.
