The German Girl von Armando Lucas Correa

The streets of Berlin are draped in swastikas and Hannah is no longer welcome in the places she once considered home. A glimmer of hope appears in the shape of the St Louis, a transatlantic liner that promises Jews safe passage to Cuba. Seven decades later in New York, 12-year-old Anna receives a package from Hannah, the great-aunt she never met. Anna and her mother travel to Cuba to meet this elderly lady and to hear the untold story of her voyage on the St. Louis. Based on a true story.
