When she returned home months later, she knew she would become a hunted woman and went underground. With the help of a Christian friend, she emerged in Munich as Grete Denner. There she met Werner Vetter, a Nazi Party member who fell in love with her. Despite Edith's protests and even her eventual confession that she was Jewish, he married her and kept her identity a secret.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn wrenching detail, Edith recalls a life of constant, almost paralyzing fear. She tells how German officials casually questioned the lineage of her parents; how during childbirth she refused all painkillers, afraid that in an altered state of mind she might reveal something of her past; and how, after her husband was captured by the Soviets, she was bombed out of her house and had to hide while drunken Russian soldiers raped women on the street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite the risk it posed to her life, Edith created a remarkable record of survival. She saved every document, as well as photographs she took inside labor camps. Now part of the permanent collection at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., these hundreds of documents, several of which are included in this volume, form the fabric of a gripping new chapter in the history of the Holocaust--complex, troubling, and ultimately triumphant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDworkin, Susan:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eAcclaimed writer Susan Dworkin is the author of many books, including the memoir \u003cem\u003eThe Nazi Officer's Wife\u003c\/em\u003e with Edith Hahn Beer, the novel \u003cem\u003eStolen Goods\u003c\/em\u003e, the novel-musical \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Candy\u003c\/em\u003e, the self-help book \u003cem\u003eThe Ms. Guide to a Woman's Health\u003c\/em\u003e with Dr. Cynthia W.
