2.5 STARS - WWII fiction is one of my favourite genres so when I saw this book I knew that it was right up my alley. The story is told via two 12-year-old narrators in two different eras. One follows Hannah, a Jewish girl living in Berlin in 1939 and modern day Anna, a descendant of Hannah's, who lives in New York City.The first half of the book briefly introduces us to Anna but most of the page time is given to Hannah and her family's escape from Germany just before war breaks out. Living in Germany under the increasing power of what Hannah calls 'the Ogres' is hard. While Hannah has the unique experience of being a Jew yet looking more Aryan in complexion, this does not make her life easier and causes discord within her Jewish community. As Jews they are constantly denigrated by their neighbours and fear that their lives are in danger. This abuse, as well as the mood in Berlin at the time, is vividly portrayed to the reader.Surprisingly I didn't find myself invested in Hannah's (or Anna's) hardships. The setting and the plot were screaming for an emotional connection but it felt like Correa didn't delve deep enough into the emotions of his characters. Add in the very slowly paced plot and unfortunately I didn't feel like I had much of a connection to either of the girls whose personalities were so similar that they seemed to blend together. Personally, I would have preferred for Anna's story line to be omitted entirely with more focus on Hannah's family.After reading this book I questioned whether or not this is supposed to be a Historical Fiction for young teens instead of adults. The writing itself, while descriptive to a point, felt geared to a younger audience. It felt like the effects of this horrific war were toned down for the reader. If this book is written for a younger audience (and I could find no mention of it being specifically a YA read) I suppose it could be said that Correa was making his book age appropriate. Personally, if this is written for adults I don't think the devastation of WWII and the horror that was inflicted on Jews by the Nazis is something that should be glossed over. I also don't understand why, except for one instance I can recall, the author chose to not use the terms Jew, Nazi or Holocaust in his book.What I will take away from this novel is the fact that I enjoyed learning about the S.S St Louis, the trans-Atlantic ship that Hannah and her family took with almost 1,000 other people to Cuba to escape the horrors of war. I had previously no knowledge that there were refugees who escaped the Nazis only to be turned away by Cuba (who suddenly decided not to honour the visas that the passengers had procured earlier). ** Note: The US and Canada were also among the countries who also turned away these refugees. ** That was an aspect of WWII, in all of my reading, that I had no knowledge of and I'm grateful that I now know more about that aspect of the war.A plot focusing on the plight of Jewish refugees during WWII gave The German Girl all the makings of a unique, touching and wonderful WWII fiction read. Unfortunately, I don't think that Correa, an award winning journalist and author, delved deep enough into the issues or the emotions of his characters to make it a truly gripping and emotional read.Disclaimer: My sincere thanks to Atria Books and NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary e-book copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
Since a very early age I made my mission to read and watch everything related to the Holocaust. And yet I had never heard about the St. Louis and her rejected Jewish passengers until recently. How could that be?The German Girl talks about a story that many tried to swept under the rug because it speaks of the shared guilt of those who did nothing. Cuba, the United States, Canada. They all rejected the refugees from the St. Louis. Many other countries denied visas to thousands, millions of men, women and children trying to escape prosecution and certain death. We let them die.The beauty in Armando Lucas Correa's fascinating book is that we get to know the St. Louis' story through the eyes of young Hannah Rosenthal and, many years later, her great niece Anna. We walk through the streets of Nazi-dominated Berlin, we run around with her and her best friend Leo as they see the world they know and love crumble around them, we feel their fear. And we wonder who were the worst victims, those who died or those who were left behind.The 937 passengers of the St. Louis could be just a number. In The German Girl they finally have a voice. Hannah is their voice. Her dreams are their dreams, her heartbreaks are their heartbreaks.Make the journey with her. Wander along her childhood streets, sail to Cuba, live with her and her memories and ghosts. And get to know the German Girl and try not to cry. I dare you.
The German Girl is really a story about two girls; one, Hannah, a 12 year-old living in 1939 Berlin, the other, Anna, a 12 year-old living in 2014 New York City. Anna has never known her father, who was killed in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. So when she receives a package of old family photographs from her great-aunt Hannah, whom she’s never met, she and her mother decide to travel to Cuba where Hannah lives and investigate Anna’s father’s life. There, Anna learns of Hannah’s experience as a refugee from Nazi Germany, travelling on the ship St. Louis. The vast majority of the passengers on the St. Louis were Jewish Germans, and they were refused entry in Cuba, the United States, and Canada.Unfortunately, this book is so frustrating, because there is no emotional power to it. None. And with a subject as inherently emotional as the Holocaust, that’s disappointing. It’s not an unreadable book, but it’s unsatisfying. The writing is decent, but it is quite often inconsistent (there are frequent occurrences of the narrator expressing one thing and two sentences later, expressing the exact opposite).The biggest problem with this book is the characters. I’m not of the opinion that characters have to be likeable, but they do have to be interesting, and they do have to be developed, especially in a character-driven novel as this one is. All the characters in The German Girl are superficially developed and often strain credibility. I couldn’t care about any of them, because I couldn’t understand any of them, because I couldn’t KNOW any of them. A few examples…I didn’t understand why Alma, Hannah’s mother, felt such anger toward Cuba and nothing at all about Germany, the country that expelled her. For that matter, neither did Hannah, and that strikes me as just so odd. It’s like their expulsion only impacted them in terms of inconvenience – there was never any sense that this family was being ripped from their home. I didn’t understand why both Alma and Hannah both simply wallowed, and that makes me angry that they wallowed. Perhaps had I understood their reasoning, I would have felt more compassion for them.The “love story†between Hannah and her friend Leo. There is no romantic chemistry between the two, and why should there be? They’re 12 when this “epic love†supposedly blossoms. Their “love†was all told to the reader, not shown at all (which is true of the entire book, actually), and so not only does the relationship fall flat, it makes no sense to me that at the end, Leo is who Hannah thinks of. I just don’t buy “true loveâ€, because I was never allowed to actually SEE Hannah’s heart.Toward the end of the book, Hannah talks a lot about the “guilt of the Rosenthals (her family)â€. Well…there was no set up for this. It only came up at the end of the book, and there were never any indications that Hannah or Alma felt any sort of misplaced guilt about being Jewish, or surviving the trip on the St. Louis, surviving in Cuba…I really have no idea what guilt their family suffers from. Because, again, I was held so far away from the characters that even if guilt was implied, I couldn’t reach it.And in my view, this is all a problem that results directly from the structure and mechanics of the book. There’s a an idiom in writing – “show don’t tellâ€. And it’s good advice for a very good reason – showing a character by having them act, and feel, gives a deeper, more complete picture of a character than simply telling the reader that “Hannah did this, and Alma did that.†The author essentially wrote a series of summaries of events, interspersed every so often with live-action scenes. One example is a scene where Hannah apparently has an argument with her brother. Rather than showing the reader the argument, and perhaps revealing character of both, the author simply tells us “Though he raised his voice, I responded in a whisper.†Well, that’s vague. And there are so many scenes like this.I also found the parallelism of Hannah and Anna to be so heavy-handed as to be irritating. It was done to force a connection between the two rather than organically developing one.So, with some guilt because it’s hard to criticize Holocaust stories, I have to say The German Girl was a tremendous let down. Too much distance and shallow treatment for a topic that deserves depth and richness.
