It's 1942. Thirteen-year-old Korinna Rehme is an active member of her local Jungmadel, a Nazi youth group, along with many of her friends. She believes that Hitler is helping Germany by instituting a program to deal with what he calls the "Jewish problem," a program that she witnesses as her Jewish neighbors are attacked and taken from their homes. Korinna's parents, however, are members of a secret underground group providing a means of escape to the Jews of their city. Korinna is shocked to discover that they are hiding a refugee family behind the wall of her bedroom. But as she comes to know the family, her sympathies begin to turn. When someone tips off the Gestapo, loyalties are put to the test and Korinna must decide what she really believes and whom she really trusts. Filled with adventure, Behind the Bedroom Wall helps readers understand the forces that drove so many to turn on their neighbors and the courage that allowed some to resist.

“The Girl Behind The Wall” tells the story of a girl growing up in East Germany in the 1980s. It embraces a child’s point-of-view, rather than the typical espionage stories or documentaries that portray people trying to escape socialism. The book provides a very different insight into the holidays, vacation and everyday life of a family; stories that are often left out when describing East German life. You will not find hard-pressed historical data, but rather be a companion as one travels back in time to relive the childhood memories alongside the girl. It is a very interesting perspective and an opportunity to view East Germany from a unique angle; a very personal and innocent viewpoint.Take a glimpse of the edenic innocence of an East German girl at the height of the Cold War. Thought provoking and playfully autobiographical, “The Girl Behind The Wall” challenges one’s perception about those who lived behind the Berlin Wall. A must read for students of history, one may discover more similarities than ever imagined.
