Stella: One Woman's True Tale of Evil, Betrayal, and Survival in Hitler's Germany Paperback - 1993

by Peter Wyden

What happened in Nazi Germany to turn a fondly remembered childhood Jewish classmate into a serial murderess and tool of the Gestapo? Seeking answers, Peter Wyden traveled back into his own past. The result is this deeply personal work, a true-life Sophie's Choice, unique in Holocaust literature. Photos.
