The true saga of a woman . . .
. . . who witnessed the tanks roll into Vienna.
Are you ready to be inspired?
Charlotte Urban, born Liselotte Goldberger, was the daughter of Jewish parents. They lived a middle-class life in Austria. Neither parent was especially religious, but that didn't matter to the Third Reich.
This is her story . . .
. . . but it is not one of endless atrocities.
She never allowed herself to feel like a victim.
Leon got to know Charlotte at their weekly lunches over 25 years. She recalled her life and he listened to her story. A life with emotional scars and missed opportunities that will break your heart, but also a life of dignity.
Just before her death at 91 . . .
. . . she told Leon her secret.
It was then that he finally understood.
You'll be riveted by this look through one woman's eyes, because it's a story of the war, great depression, and the political turmoil that shaped a generation.
