A resistance circle under threat in wartime Berlin

Set in Berlin in 1943, Jonathan Freedland’s account centers on a group of anti-Nazi dissenters drawn from Germany’s social and political elite. Its members include countesses, a diplomat, an intelligence officer, an ambassador’s widow and a head mistress. Their shared opposition to Hitler leads them to meet secretly, help rescue Jews and consider a future Germany without Nazi rule. The circle’s danger comes not only from the Gestapo but from a betrayer among those gathered around the table. The book examines resistance as a network of varied individuals whose acts of dissent carried personal risk.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in the history of opposition to Nazism in Germany.
  • Readers drawn to accounts of clandestine resistance networks and wartime betrayal.
  • Readers interested in Jewish history and efforts to rescue Jews under Nazi rule.
