Julia

Julia

by Ina Rilke (Translator), Otto de Kat (Author)

Synopsis

Chris and Julia - from the moment they meet Chris is dangerously close to love. But their very first date in Lubeck's Grand-Cafe Elzas is interrupted by S.A. Brownshirts. It is 1937 and Hitler's manic oratory is driving Germany towards war and fanaticism. The independence and freedom of thought that Chris finds so attractive leads Julia to emphatically reject the Nazi regime. It is not long before her courageous stance brings them both to the Gestapo's attention. Soon he is forced to make an impossible choice, the outcome of which he can only regret.
