Nina’s story is wonderful on its own, as she was the first female Army Intelligence Officer to lead sensitive intelligence operations in East Berlin. She met a Holocaust survivor, they married, and moved to America. She would be spending the following 40 years without seeing most of her siblings, rarely receiving letters from them, and seeing her mother twice and her father once. Hanna was twenty when she escaped from East Germany. Nina is a former American military intelligence officer and she worked in espionage during the Cold War. Her mother Hanna escaped East Germany, the rest of her family remained and lived there until the fall of the Berlin wall. Nina, the author, wrote about her family. I loved it, it is such a heartbreaking but beautiful story. I thank her for telling me about this wonderful book. Forty Autumns by Nina Willner – A family’s story of courage and survival on both sides of the Berlin Wall – was recommended by Kelly. ![]()
