Anna’s Medallion

Third Reich, 1941

Can love survive the depths of hell?

This is the first novel I thought of writing and the first I self-published. It’s a dedication to my grandparents, who were sent to Nazi Germany as slave laborers and ended up falling in love. But their relationship was not allowed, and they were consequently sent to concentration camps to be separated.

I promised myself that one day I would tell their story, and “Anna’s Medallion” is my attempt at that. I hope you enjoy it.
