Memories of a Mischling: Becoming an American - Hardcover
Description
by Marianne Gilbert Finnegan (Author)
Marianne Gilbert Finnegan was born in Germany just before Adolph Hitler was elected Chancellor. Her Jewish father, Robert Gilbert, was a well known song writer and poet; her mother, a singer, came from a Lutheran family. By Nazi decree, the mixed marriage made their daughter a Mischling, or half breed. Fearing what was to come, the family fled Germany and eventually reached America. This is the story of Marianne's growing up in New York City while her father tried to write in English for the Broadway stage and her mother worked in factories to support the household.
