Rosenstraße

Rosenstraße in Berlin: history was made here in 1943 when the only peaceful resistance against the Nazi dictatorship took place. Hundreds of women demonstrated for days for the release of their Jewish husbands, together with their children – and in the end, their street protest was actually successful.
Anja Tuckermann impressively tells the story of little Doris, whose father is taken away by the Nazis to an administrative building, and the anxiety of the whole family as to whether they will ever see their father again. She tells of Doris' mother, who, together with many other women, courageously protests against the imprisonment – risking her life in the process.

With many explanatory factual texts and artfully illustrated by Annabelle von Sperber.
