HOTEL BERLIN '43
By Vicki Bam?!
The author of Grand Hotel writes a new novel with a scene reminiscent of her greatest success. Here is a Berhn luxury hotel, like its famous prototype still crowded with fascinating guests but drastically changed under a war-torn Nazi regime. Headquarters of the Gestapo, home of international parasites, Nazi officials, and the elite of Hitler's Reich, it is a microcosm of the brutality and hysterical fear raging behind the steel walls.

HOTEL BERLIN '43
By Vicki Bam?!
The author of Grand Hotel writes a new novel with a scene reminiscent of her greatest success. Here is a Berhn luxury hotel, like its famous prototype still crowded with fascinating guests but drastically changed under a war-torn Nazi regime. Headquarters of the Gestapo, home of international parasites, Nazi officials, and the elite of Hitler's Reich, it is a microcosm of the brutality and hysterical fear raging behind the steel walls.
Again Vicki Baum has brought together a brilliant set of characters whose lives become dramatically entangled. To the hotel comes General Arnim von Dahnwitz, called back by the Gestapo from a crumbling Russian front. Lisa Dorn, his mistress and lovely star of the German theater, is waiting for him, when a tortured young hero of the Underground, Martin Richter, takes refuge in ler room. A feeling new to them both flares up, and there follows a breathtaking account of his attempt to escape.
Woven into this story are the lives of other guests in the hotel: an ailing English writer who broadcasts Nazi propaganda; bitter, drunken Johannes Koenig, last of the great German poets; Tilli, a courtesan; and a whole gallery of others. Every detail of the inside-Germany background is authentic, and the atmosphere, charged with tension, is completely real. Expertly told, it is one of the most exciting escape stories of the war.
