Marion Kummerow was born and raised in Germany, before she set out to "discover the world" and lived in various countries. In 1999 she returned to Germany and settled down in Munich where she's now living with her family.

After dipping her toes with non-fiction books, she finally tackled the project dear to her heart. UNRELENTING is the story about her grandparents, who belonged to the German resistance and fought against the Nazi regime.

It's a book about resilience, love and the courage to stand up and do the right thing. ...more

True love shows you what's really important in life

Excerpt from Bubbe’s Nightingale by Roberta Kagan, A Novella in The Darkest Hour Anthology

Mordechi left the stage and walked into the arms of the woman I knew he loved. Tears fell freely down my cheeks. He was right; this could be our last meeting. We were all so young and so full of life. It was hard to believe that we were about to walk into the jaws of death. Azriel embraced me. I had long sinc Read more of this blog post »

Marion Kummerow answered Nicola's question: Hello, Marion. I have JUST discovered your books and your bio. As someone who is about to publish part two of a novel involving the heroes of the German Resistance, I would love to know; how much inspiration do you still find in the history that surrounds you? I visited Berlin recently, and found that - while the city is absolutely breathtaking, stately, modern and vital - it exhales its history with every breath. Hi Nicola, I still find plenty of inspiration, not only in Berlin, but everywhere I go. In museums, memorial sites, newspaper articles or books
