Download Summary and Analysis of The Nazi Officers Wife: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocaust AudioBook Free
Edith Beer starts her story by keeping in mind a fellow nurse who illegally bought an onion to nourish to a dying Russian soldier. Beer points out that she, a nurse's aide, may have caused trouble for her fellow nurses because the Nazi plan frowned upon developing friendships with prisoners or with people who were not Nordic Aryans. Beer explains that lots of of the other nurses could have caused trouble for her because they bought in to the propaganda, truly thinking that these were much better than the foreign prisoners they dished up. Instead of bartering for food to give to the injured prisoners, these were much more likely to grab food from the prisoners, to bring that food home therefore the nurses could nourish their own eager families. Most of the prisoners in Brandenburg were not actually harmed in war but harmed in their servitude; having been conquered, these were forced to work in factories packed with industrial accidents. Beer points out that she was transferred out of this ward of injured prisoners to work in the maternity ward because someone tattled on her behalf, expressing she was too friendly with the foreigners. Informers to the Gestapo were all over. Before the war, Beer was a rules scholar in Austria, but as the war grew and Germany propagate, her name was put on a desired list. To avoid persecution, she became a U-boat; a Jewish person coping with a secret id in the center of Germany.
