KRAUS FAMILY AWARD WINNER FOR BEST AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND MEMOIR AT THE
NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARDS WINNER OF THE DAYTON LITERARY PEACE
PRIZE 'Beautifully told' John le Carre 'More than just history'
Michael Palin 'Truly exceptional' Jon Snow 'Absolutely remarkable'
Edmund de Waal In this remarkably moving memoir, Ariana Neumann
dives into the secrets of her father's past: years spent hiding in
plain sight in wartorn Berlin, the annihilation of dozens of family
members in the Holocaust, and the courageous choice to build anew.
'The darkest shadow is beneath the candle.' As a child in
Venezuela, Ariana Neumann is fascinated by the enigma of her
father, who appears to be the epitome of success and strength, but
who wakes at night screaming in a language she doesn't recognise.
Then, one day, she finds an old identity document bearing his
picture - but someone else's name. From a box of papers her father
leaves for her when he dies, Ariana meticulously uncovers the
extraordinary truth of his escape from Nazi-occupied Prague. She
follows him across Europe and reveals his astonishing choice to
assume a fake identity and live out the war undercover, spying for
the Allies in Berlin - deep in the 'darkest shadow'. Having known
nothing of her father's past, not even that he was Jewish, Ariana's
detective work also leads to the shocking discovery that a total of
twenty-five members of the Neumann family were murdered by the
Nazis. Spanning nearly ninety years and crossing oceans, When Time
Stopped is a powerful and beautifully wrought memoir in which
Ariana comes to know the family that has been lost - and,
ultimately, her own beloved father.
