Synopsis

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.
