Phillipa Kohn's personal ego and strength that enabled her to
control all the people around her convinced this daughter of
wealthy Jewish parents that she could control her political
environment in Germany as well. Then came Hitler and Nazism and
World War II. Her marriage to weak Walter Penmann, a non-Jewish
university professor, a union of convenience and occasional
manipulative sex for her and adoring frustration for him, protected
her for a while. When she is ultimately sent to a concentration
camp, Walter goes off to join the anti-Nazi resistance. The horrors
of the camps for her, the dangerous adventures for him, the
self-discoveries of both, including all-encompassing sex that they
could not find with each other, mark the dramatic changes for them
and in the lives and deaths of other unforgettable characters, set
against a warning of personal and public complacency that is as
meaningful today as it was at that time.
