The Evil That Surrounds Us - The WWII Memoir of Erna Becker-Kohen (Hardcover)

In 1931, Gustav Becker and Erna Kohen married. He was Catholic and
she was Jewish. Erna and Gustav had no idea their religious
affiliations, which mattered so little to them, would define their
marriage under the Nazis. As one of the more than 20,000 German
Jews married to an "Aryan" spouse, Erna was initially exempt from
the most radical anti-Jewish measures. However, even after Erna
willingly converted to Catholicism, the persecution, isolation, and
hatred leveled against them by the Nazi regime and their Christian
neighbors intensified, and she and their son Silvan were forced to
flee alone into the mountains. Through intimate and insightful
diary entries, Erna tells her own compelling and horrifying story
and reflects on the fortunate escapes and terrible tragedies of her
friends and family. The Nazis would exact steep payment for Erna's
survival: her home, her family, and ultimately her faithful
husband's life. The Evil That Surrounds Us reveals both the great
evil of Nazi Germany and the powerful love and courage of her
husband, friends, and strangers who risked everything to protect
her.
