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 graduate student suspected of illegal research. This interrogation promises to be most challenging as he faces the iconic 20th-century thinker Hannah Arendt.

Is she innocent? Or an enemy of the state? Inspired by real events, this fantastical drama delves into the life and mind of one of history's most profound thinkers.
