What Is Left Of The Night (A World War Ii Novel) Based On A True Story
The Nazi regime’s bloody wake in Europe persists as they
brutally send “undesirables” to their deaths in concentration
camps. As a young Jew, Hannah leaves behind her mother
and sister as she flees certain death, arriving in Le Chambon in
search of refuge.
Driven by their deeply rooted faith in God, Protestant pastor
André Trocmé and his formidable wife, Magda, have turned the
unassuming community in the foothills of the French Alps into
a quiet resistance—a haven where they shelter escapees from
Hitler’s ever-tightening fist.
But a sadistic crew is on the rise. Under the supervision of
the Butcher of Lyon, Gestapo officer Herr Lauer pursues the
Jewish girl. Hannah was in his sights, but when she evaded
him, his explosive rage and thirst for revenge set him on a spiraling
mission to track her down—leading him straight to Le
Chambon.
With lyrical prose and historical accuracy, Mark Buchanan
weaves together a thrilling narrative from the real-life stories
of a pastor, refugee, spy, and author, tangled together in a plot
against the Reich.
