Mrs. Stern Wanders the Prussian State Library

by Jenny Lyn Bader

Berlin, 1933.

With martial law in effect, political activism has become a capital crime. A young Gestapo officer arrests a philosophy grad student. Interrogating her will be dangerous for them both. Inspired by real events — and by the life and mind of one of history's most profound thinkers.
