Mark Roseman's book is a work of history, a detective story and a meditation on how we know or fail to know about our lives and the lives of others. An elderly refugee from Germany, Marianne Ellenbogen, talked to Roseman about her life in a wealthyGerman Jewish family during the 1930s and about her escape from the Holocaust. After her death, Roseman worked with Marianne's son Vivian to sort through a vast store of her papers, photos, diaries, invoices, letters and also interviewed friends and relatives who had known Marianne in Germany. THE PAST IN HIDING is the extraordinary result.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This volume is the story of a historian, Mark Roseman, and his relationship with Marianne Ellenbogen (nee Strauss) - an elderly Liverpool resident with a remarkable past. This chance meeting between an expert on Germany and a survivor of the most terrible event in Germany's history had an impact that neither party could have anticipated. Roseman interviewed Marianne Ellenbogen several times about her experiences, but then - after Marianne's death in 1996 - he found himself with access to a vast range of papers secreted in their house - photos, diaries, letters. This book is about the extraordinary physical and emotional journey these papers provoked -it is a detective story, a love story, a story of great courage and survival under impossible conditions. Drawing on interviews with those who knew Marianne, on countless papers and on Roseman's wider knowledge of the Third Reich, this story s also about a historian's investigation into the nature of memory - about a past that remained "in hiding" for more than 50 years. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001671457
