In 1921, Françoise Frenkel--a Jewish woman from Poland--fulfills a dream. She opens La Maison du Livre, Berlin's first French bookshop, attracting artists and diplomats, celebrities and poets. The shop becomes a haven for intellectual exchange as Nazi ideology begins to poison the culturally rich city. In 1935, the scene continues to darken. First come the new bureaucratic hurdles, followed by frequent police visits and book confiscations. Françoise's dream finally shatters on Kristallnacht in November 1938, as hundreds of Jewish shops and businesses are destroyed. La Maison du Livre is miraculously spared, but fear of persecution eventually forces Françoise on a desperate, lonely flight to Paris. When the city is bombed, she seeks refuge across southern France, witnessing countless horrors: children torn from their parents, mothers throwing themselves under buses. Secreted away from one safe house to the next, Françoise survives at the heroic hands of strangers risking their lives to protect her.… (mehr)

The first title of this book was "No Place to Lay One's Head." That is a more apt title than "A Bookshop in Berlin" since very little of the book pertains to a bookshop in Berlin. It was an okay read about persecution during WWII, but there is really nothing new here that has not been in other WWII memoirs. ( )

This an amazing story of a Jewish woman- Francoise Frenkel- who fulfills her dream of opening up a book store in France. As Nazi ideology passes through Europe, police visits and confiscations begin to increase at Frenkel's place of business. Her book store is soon destroyed, as well as many other Jewish-owned businesses experienced, during the destruction of the evil of German tyranny. This book was actually published in 1945 and left in an attic until somewhat recently. Recommend.

Good true story of escape from German Nazis. ( )

I am a big fan of just about any book about books. And the title led me to believe this was about a bookstore in Berlin, Germany. And it was. Sort of. It begins with the author’s adventure opening her own bookstore of French offerings in Berlin right before WWII started. Since she is Jewish, it didn’t take long for her to realize she needed to be on the run from the Nazis. And that is what the bulk of the book is about—her fleeing the Germans, managing to stay one step ahead of them until she wasn’t. The books recounts Frenkel’s incredible resourcefulness and bravery. If there weren’t a flood of similar books out now, this would probably be more notable. As it is, Frenkel’s book is well worth the time to read it, and I’m glad I did. ( )

A rediscovered memoir by a Berlin bookseller who was trapped in France after the Nazi invasion, and her struggles to remain hidden and escape into Switzerland.

The book angle plays a relatively small role after the author relocates to Paris. The major puzzle about the account is that, as is noted in the preface, she completely omits her husband from the story. Such a significant omission cannot help but have the reader wonder what other, if any, license has been taken.

For a more thorough description of the Nazi occupation of Paris, and its impact upon libraries, one should read The Paris Library. Although fictionalized, it is based on real people surviving in a real situation. ( )
