Step into the darkened streets of Nazi-occupied Paris and experience the lives of ordinary citizens caught in the grip of war.

In a city where the shadow of the swastika looms large, whispers of resistance mingle with the fear of betrayal. Lucien, a literature professor, chronicles the struggle in his clandestine journal, while Juliette, a young seamstress, stitches a symbol of defiance in the attic of her family home.

As food shortages and curfews become the norm, and the Gestapo's presence casts a pall over everyday life, Parisians must make impossible choices: collaborate and survive, or resist and risk everything.

Shadows of the Swastika weaves a tapestry of interconnected stories, capturing the resilience of the human spirit in the face of oppression.

This historical fiction novel explores:

  • The moral dilemmas of a nation divided.
  • The courage of those who fight in the shadows.
  • The sacrifices made in the name of freedom.
  • The enduring power of hope in the darkest of times.
  • Experience the occupation through the eyes of those who lived it - from resistance fighters to collaborators, from everyday citizens to those who paid the ultimate price for their beliefs.

    Shadows of the Swastika is a powerful and moving testament to the strength of the human spirit, a reminder that even in the face of unimaginable darkness, the flame of hope can never be truly extinguished.
