Publisher Description: "Divided Lives" is a book that brings together the horrifying life stories of women from Jewish-Christian marriages whose families were persecuted under Hitler' s Third Reich. These women, the " Mischling, " " half breeds, " or " half Jews, " were subjected to an onslaught of anti-Jewish laws that divided spouses, family, and friends. From the early Hitler years through post- war Germany, the book chronicles these women' s personal struggles, joys, losses, and terror as well as how they maneuvered in a country that had betrayed them. Relatively little has been written about the plight of Jewish-Christian " mixed" families, perhaps because of the complex and controversial split between their Jewish and Christian roots. Crane, whose family suffered under these laws, has collected, translated, and interpreted the life stories of ten women who survived. These are universal stories of hope and survival that transcend time, race, religion, class, and gender.
