Hiding in Plain Sight

Escaping the Reich #4

by Marion Kummerow

World War Two is over. The wounds are not.

Germany, 1947. Roxi has survived what should have broken her. Piece by fragile piece, she is building a quiet life with her husband, trying to believe that healing is possible.

Then a lost talisman resurfaces.

It can only mean one the man who destroyed her family is alive.

While a shattered nation is desperate to forget and the authorities demand impossible proof, Roxy is forced to confront the past she has fought so hard to outrun. The man who stole everything from her now lives safely under a false name in Essen—protected by silence, indifference, and a world eager to move on.

But Roxy cannot.

As she tracks him through a shattered country determined to look the other way, Roxy is drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse. In a time when perpetrators hide behind new identities and survivors are told to stay silent, her search for justice could cost her everything.

How far will she go to make him answer for what he did?

A gripping novel in the German Wife series about about the aftermath of the Holocaust, the cost of silence and a woman who refuses to be a victim ever again.

Received this in exchange for an honest review. Thank you NetGalley
I loved the book. It was well done, no endless side stories, or filler. I could tell this was part of a series, but it stands alone.
There are not many novels regarding post WWII, but this one is on target.
I recommend to all readers of this time period. I do believe this is the first book I have read regarding the actions agains the Roma and how they too were treated.

Hiding in Plain Sight by Marion Kummerow is a post-Holocaust story of a Romani wife and her half-Jewish husband. Roxy deals in the Black Market. They needed the money. David is a talented mechanic but a living is still hard to come by in post-war Germany. They managed until one day Roxy accidentally saw a man whom she was sure had been the commandant of the detention camp she had been held in during the war. Most of her family had been killed there. He didn’t look like himself but his bearing, his voice, and his eyes belied the truth. When she went to turn him in to the British, she ran into a man with whom she dealt on the Black Market. This didn’t bode well.

Roxy and David are a terrific characters and Roxy, in particular is an odd mix of loving, forgiving, and vengeful. David worries about her constantly as Black Market is dangerous enough, but now, pursuing this horrible man, bodes of danger. She seeks assistance but he doesn’t see how that can be safe or productive. The sergeant she had originally spoken to opted to help. He was black and understood hate very well. It was an engrossing read from a different perspective, on several fronts. There are so many stories from this time in history that there are plenty of stories to tell. This was a good one.

The Hunt

Roxie has great courage. After surviving Belzec a Nazi prison camp, Roxie marries and tries to live a new life. However, when she spots the old commander of the prison camp and finds he is living under an assumed name, she must bring him to justice.

She puts herself in great danger in doing this as the corrupt authorities will not listen to her, nor will they help her.

It is a story of one woman’s determination to see one man pay for the crimes he has committed and she will not stop until her task is completed.

It was a good story and I enjoyed reading it.

I received a copy to read and review, the review is my own.

I finished this book in one sitting! Historical fiction set in post WW2 Germany really captures my interest. “Hiding in Plain Sight” featured a young couple who survived the Nazi persecution/camps and were trying to establish their lives in Essen, Germany. They dealt with the British forces who occupied that region of Germany, horrible shortages forcing black market exchanges—and of course, property destruction everywhere. They faced more cultural prejudices than one would expect after everything else. Most disturbing were the SS Nazi leaders who escaped trials and were hiding in plain sight, living under new identities.

This book follows the story of Roxy and her husband, David, a young couple in Germany trying to rebuild their lives after World War 2. David has been able to obtain a decent job and Roxy has been struggling to find someone that will employ her as a woman and also a “Gypsy”. If that life isn’t frustrating enough, Roxy recognizes the person who destroyed her life and her family’s lives during the war in a labor camp. She can’t rest until this man has been brought to justice. The only problem is proving it.

This book is a part of a series, which I didn’t know when I chose it. I didn’t feel totally lost while reading it, but will definitely be going back to read other books that have been written prior to this one. I loved the FMC’s determination and endless drive to bring justice for her and her family. While books of this topic are really heavy, the author doesn’t focus too much on the horrifying details of the characters’ past experiences. I felt this story was a good mix of historical and fictional details. It was easily believable. The story was catchy and there was enough action and suspense to keep the reader from getting bored. I don’t normally reach for historical fiction, but this book was a pleasant surprise! *Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy of the book in exchange for an honest review!

"Nazis were back in office in droves, Roma were still marginalized, and the women who had kept the country running for years were banished back to the kitchen as soon as the men returned home from the battlefields of Europe."

Hiding in Plain Sight, set in 1947, offers readers a look at post-war Germany and the hardships that remained in the occupied zones. The title refers to a Nazi war criminal, the former Kommandant of Belzec, where Roxy and the rest of her Romani family were interred. Living under an assumed identity, he chose to stay in Germany and work towards the rebirth of Hitler's Reich. This book continues Roxy's story, who still fights the prejudice against the Romani, as well as her personal trauma from the Holocaust. She was my favorite character of the series because of her tenacity and pride in her Romani culture. (She still goes barefoot in 1947.) Although Hiding in Plain Sight is Roxy's story, you get a glimpse of life after the war for many characters from the earlier books. It was satisfying to come full circle, returning to Berlin and the women who persevered, protecting their families. My absolutely favorite part of this book was when David decided to make a pair of shoes for Roxy and carefully constructed them so she could still feel the earth beneath her feet. Is that love or what? Hiding in Plain Sight reminds us that the trauma of the Holocaust continued long after the war ended, and for many victims, there was no justice. Be prepared to be outraged, anxious, and comforted while reading Marion Kummerow's impressive new book.

My thanks to NetGalley and Book Whisperer for the opportunity to read this ARC. The review and all opinions are entirely my own.

I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher, for which I thank them.

“Hiding in Plain Sight” is by Marion Kummerow. This book is part of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone, though I’d recommend reading either one of the series that this character, Roxy, is part of for deeper background information. I had read one of the series, where Roxy was a minor character, but I think - for me - reading the series about her would’ve made this book a lot richer. However, Ms. Kummerow does a good job getting the reader up to speed on who Roxy is (including her past) and how’s she surviving in post WWII Germany. Ms. Kummerow always does her historical research and, once again, that shines through in this book - but for once, for me this book rather lay there as there wasn’t anything new historically for me to learn (something I always want from a historical fiction book). This book felt a bit predictable and while it was a good read, it wasn’t as gripping as some of her other books. I did like that Roxy’s story had closure and it was clear that post-WWII Germany had some prejudices to deal with (was the British officer a bit over the top? Maybe, but I’m sure he did face some discrimination based upon his accent and appearance). Overall, for me, this was a quick read, but having not read the series about Roxy, I felt like I was missing some details that could have made this story deeper and richer.

Hiding In Plain Sight by Marion Kummerow is another action-packed novel set in the time period immediately following World War II. The main characters are Roxy Goldman and her husband David. They are not hiding in plain sight but the man who tortured and killed many of Roxy's family members in the Belzec concentration camp is now hiding under a new alias in post-war Germany. As a former high-ranking Nazi official, Hartmut Golsar knows that if he is discovered still living in Germany that he will be prosecuted and most likely executed for war crimes. He becomes Erwin Kruger with all the fake paperwork and lies needed to start a new life in Essen where Roxy and David now live. And that's where this story begins. It is a story filled with drama and suspense. There are some scary scenes involving Golsar and there are numerous scenes showing the love and tenderness between David and Roxy. And, of course, the author has created a slew of secondary characters that also keeps us guessing as to what is going to happen. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys historical fiction thrillers that include a loving family support system. There were some references to characters and past actions that apparently were covered in an earlier book, but for the most part this can certainly be a stand-alone novel. I received an ARC from publisher Book Whisperer through NetGalley but all opinions are my own.

Hiding in Plain Sight by Marion Kummerow is an historical fiction novel which occurs after World War II. This story is part of a series but can definitely be read as a stand alone. This story takes place in Berlin, Germany. In todays world this would be described as PTSD - where the daily tension seems to suffocate those living in the heart of the Nazi’s former base of operations.
The female protagonist is Roxy who is Jewish and survived Belzec concentration camp. The psychological damage she suffers from being in the camp is a heartbreaking character study. She grieves the loss of her family. Her only safe haven is her husband. He loves her, wants to protect her, wants to help her out run her demons.
The title of the story refers to a Nazi war criminal the former Kommandant of Belzec. Living under a false identity he is working in Berlin and in his mind he will work toward the rebirth of the Third Reich. One day Roxy believe she sees the former Kommandant. How can it be that he is walking free and working in Berlin?
The story is fast-paced, reflecting the urgency of Roxy to find this man and make him answer for his crimes. Ms. Kummerow focuses on the emotional truth. This novel offers a new perspective on survival that will stay with you long after you finish the book.

In this powerful new World War II historical fiction novel, readers follow Roxi and her husband as they rebuild their lives in 1947 Germany and work on healing from the traumas of the war. However, the resurfacing of a lost talisman means the man who destroyed her family is alive and living in Essen, free from punishment. Forced to confront her past, Roxi hunts him down across postwar Germany in a dangerous chase that reveals the flaws of the postwar regime and how far Roxi will go in her search for justice. Intense, detailed, and emotional, readers will love the characters’ tension and their struggles to settle into postwar life, and the intense emotions and isolation the characters feel really immerse readers in the narrative. The historical details really drop readers into Essen and keep them grounded in the narrative, while the alternating perspectives get readers into the primary characters’ heads. The fast pacing and urgency of Roxi’s mission comes across throughout the narrative, and she experiences some of the obstacles and divisions of postwar Germany on her quest. Incredibly detailed and with high stakes for all characters involved, historical fiction fans will love Marion Kummerow’s latest powerful novel set in the aftermath of World War II.

Thanks to NetGalley and Book Whisperer for the advance copy.

Hiding in Plain Sight by Marion Kummerow takes place in Germany in 1947. Roxy Goldmann is a surviver of Belzec. She and her entire family were Roma, Gypsy’s. They were sent to the camps during the war. Not only were the Jewish people targeted for extinction, but also the Sinti & Roma’s. Roxy and a couple of others from her family were the only ones that made it out alive.

She came home and married David Goldmann. Times are tough in Germany and things are scarce. She has been unable to find a job and food and coal are hard to come by. She has been unable to forget what she saw and went through at the hands of the commander Hartmut Golsar. She vowed to do everything in her power to find him, if he survived, and bring him to justice for what he had done to her family and those in his camp.

The story revolves around what she goes through to attain her goal. The story is fast moving and the writing keeps you wanting more, especially since not everything is revealed in the beginning. I would recommend this book to all that are fans of historical fiction. It shows us another part of what the Nazis did, even in their own country.

Thank you Net Galley and The Book Whisperer for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC.

Hiding in Plain Sight is another gripping read in A German Wife /Escaping the Reich series.

Its post-war Germany where we find Roxy and David are trying to rebuild their lives but the scars are deep for Roxy.

Germany is struggling as food and heat are scarce.

Roxy is a survivor of the prison of war camp Belzec and one face she will never forget is the Kommandant Harmut Golsar who's cruelty surpassed most officers.

One day she runs into a man who closely resembles Golsar. Its a face she will never forget.

There is no better place to hide with a new identity then in plain sight but memories are long and the quest for justice is high.

Roxy is determined to get justice for her family that never made it out of the camp . She puts her life on the line and is quickly determined a threat.

Marion Kummerow always writes a gripping tale where you are bound to learn something from the War that you didnt know.

Her books are fast paced and captivating so much so you will want to read the book in one sitting. I did.

I cant wait to see what is in store in the next book.

Thanks to NetGalley and BookWhisperer/Marion Kummerow for the privilege of reading and reviewing one of my favourite series.

Roxi, a Jewish Holocaust survivor, has suffered much pain and many losses. She lives in post war Germany which is anxious to move on from the horrors of the war. Together with her husband, she is trying to return to a normal life. To make ends meet, she works the black-market. During one of her black-market transactions, she is given a carved wooden horse necklace. It is hers. Her Nazi tormentor took it from her. If the necklace is here, might Hartmut Goslar still be alive. Roxi begins her quest to find her tormentor. Even with the proof that Goslar is living under an assumed name, the authorities are reluctant to help her. She plans her own journey for revenge. Roxi is clever, determined and will not rest until she brings Goslar to justice, one way or the other. With the help of her husband, her friend Kate, and others she works on a plan to expose Goslar. Throughout the novel, Roxi is courageous, brave and determine. She displays the tenacity to right all the wrongs of Goslar and see justice done. While the novel gives us an interesting glimpse of the post war conditions in Germany, the story also shows what one woman is willing to do to bring rest to her family and happiness to herself.

A Roma girl, escaped the horrors of a Nazi camp, almost her entire family murdered, is now married to a Jew living in post Nazi Germany. Their living is precarious, the old antagonisms still exist but David and Roxi are happy. They all live with the scars of Nazi influence, and they do realise that Nazis live amongst them well disguised.

Goslar was the commander of the camp Roxi was, and he was particularly cruel and erratic and would order the murder of anyone on the most flimsiest of excuses. A chance encounter, over hearing a voice startles Roxi into the pursuit of a man she believes to be Goslar, now even more dangerous than before, as he has somehow inveigled himself under the protection of the presently ruling British. He has just got a job in the civil government department of repatriation , where he is determined to do whatever he can to prevent the just return of confiscated property. Highlighting corruption in the occupation, antagonism and racism very much evident, poverty and the struggle to get by and one woman’s determination to get justice for her family is the basis of the story.

Like all stories set during the era, there is raw emotion and strong feelings that arise when one reads such books, but that cannot be helped. Very intense read.

Essen, Germany, 1947-
Roxy is Sinti Gypsy and her husband, David, is half Jewish. She was in a concentration camp during the war where she had to face the evil Kommandant Goslar everyday. He killed thousands during that time period and when she recognizes him years after the war, she can’t believe he now has a city job and is living a new life as someone else. He stole everything from her and she wants to make sure he atones for his crimes. But the authorities need proof that Goslar is who she says he is and Roxy must play a dangerous game to get the justice she deserves.

A dangerous search for justice in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Roxy was such a brave woman to survive the camp and then to face the man who took everything from her years later. It’s terrible how very few perpetrators were prosecuted and held responsible for their crimes after the war. This was my first book by Marion Kummerow and she was highly recommended by several friends. I’m looking forward to reading more of her stories because this one had me on the edge of my seat!

Hiding in Plain Sight by Marion Kummerow is an after the WWII story taking place in Germany. The title does not refer to the main character but to Nazi war criminal who hid in plain sight assuming new identities, as if they have no guilty for their actions. Perhaps even to rebuild the Nazi belief system once again after the occupation ended. Roxy has one Nazi that she is determined to find and see prosecuted. This is that story.

A different from the usual story lines since Roxy was Romani. Because of her family’s gypsy lifestyle, they too were sent to the Nazi’s concentration camps. Later the prejudice and lies about Jews are still common, this comes out as Roxy’s husband is Jewish. A perspective that reflect the times, troubles and struggles right after the war.

Without help Roxy would not have been successful, so the supporting characters were the character of integrity and justice. It is admirable to see them stand up for justice. However, the former Kommandant of Belzec has his network too. Evil does seem to find a way too survive. In his case, justice is done which gives hope to us all. 4.5 Stars

“Hiding in Plain Sight” is now the third historical World War Two novel by prolific author Marion Kummerow I’ve devoured as advanced reader’s copies given to me by NetGalley, for which I am extremely grateful. My review is voluntary.

Ms. Kummerow’s writing is thoughtful and engaging and based on a considerable amount of research by her. The first books I read were part of her “Escaping the Reich” trilogy, and this one is the fifth title in her “German Wives” series. In an extraordinarily surprising twist, one of the characters from the trilogy (“Dark Shadows Looming Ahead”) makes a brief appearance in this newest novel, referencing his escape from the Nazis with help from a famous Olympic gold medalist swimmer.

“Hiding in Plain Sight” contains many fascinating and surprising plot twists. Several were pure genius, very creative. I loved the story and the characters, and I thought the writing was excellent. Ms. Kummerow has written over thirty novels in this genre. Since I’ve enjoyed the ones I’ve read thus far, I’m confident I will enjoy the others as well — just give me time!

Focusing on the post WW2 era this is a story of how a young couple who have lived and breathed the prejudice of the Nazis era. Roxi was a Sinti and David was the son of a Jewish father and an Aryan Mother.. Both spent the war years in the shadows and Roxi experience the camps. This book dares to ask the question - how can someone, who has been treated as badly as they had deal with the situation of coming face to face with an SS officer who has tried to find a new life in the post war era? As usual Marion helps us to answer this question through the pages of this novel. This is another amazing tale of courage, strength and self-sacrifice which leads the two main characters David and Roxi to get closure on their past, to reconcile with her family and to retake control of their own lives.
While there are references to the activities within the camps this book could be read by a mature teenager. Thank you for the advance copy I have given this review freely.

This is book five in the " A German Wife Novel" series but can easily be read as a stand-alone book.
It's Autumn of 1947 in Essen in Germany and Roxy is walking through the streets with bare feet, it's really cold but she has been through worse. She is trying her hardest to get a job, but being a roma gypsy no-one will employ her, but when she came away from a job interview she is certain that the person who was walking the opposite way down street was someone she was familiar with, but not in a good way, someone who was involved in atrocities during the war. But who will believe her? This is just the start to a problem that she is going to have to solve.

A powerful and compelling read that will keep you reading till the last pages. As with all books by Marion Kummerow that I have read it was very thought provoking and as you near the end you will be totally gripped.
A well-deserved five-star read from me.

This was a decent historical fiction read, focusing on a Roma woman, Roxane Goldmann, in postwar Germany. As this is a time that isn’t normally focused on for WWII fiction, it made a refreshing change of perspective. This is part of a series but can be read as a standalone, as the author has done a wonderful job in weaving in details from previous novels to ensure that a reader never feels lost. The reader will get a sense that there is more to discover of previous events and characters that are mentioned but no longer around.

The book has a simple writing style, with uncomplicated dialogue and a fairly predictable plot flow. The characters don’t have a lot of depth to them and motivations don’t have much feeling. This makes for an easy read of a difficult time period and the ending wraps up in a satisfying fashion.

Hiding in Plain Sight by Marion Kummerow is an historical novel that accurately depicts the post World War II environment in Germany. The book tells the story of a Gypsy woman who escaped from a Nazi interment camp where she witnessed horrific sights and treatments by the Nazis. This book is heart-wrenching and emotional. It is well written. The characters are well developed and you will get the feeling that you know them and feel that they are real people. This is a book that should be read by everyone. It is historical and tells the story of the holocaust in an enlightening way that will have you realize the horror and atrocities of the Nazi regime. I received a copy of this book through Bookwhisper.com/Netgalley.com and I always review every book that I read. I recommend this book and this series.

[Claudete Takahashi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm always touched by the way Ms. Kummerow tells her stories as they, although mostly fiction, seem so real and bring all the desperation and need for justice most people felt (and in some ways still do) for all the cruelty, prejudice people suffered during WWII. A Roma family was almost exterminated in a concentration camp, but the girl who was able to flee, will recognize her captor and will do everything she can to put him on trial and be sentenced to death. Not too many survivors were able to obtain that sort of justice in real life, but the heroine in this story did! Engaging from the beginning, Hiding in Plain Sight is a story of resilience, love, self-growth, fight against prejudice and search for justice.
I thank the author, her publisher, and NetGalley for this ARC.

[Debbi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Suspenseful, tantalizing, frustrating, Hiding in Plain Sight is the latest book in Kummerow’s Escaping the Reich series. In this installment Roxi, a young wife, navigates the treachery and deception of a country trying to get past its awful past, with citizens both blameless and culpable trying to reinvent themselves and start a new life unencumbered by past baggage. When a highly personal object appears Roxi realizes that what she thought she knew about the disappearance of family and friends (especially who might actually be a friend) is not necessarily true. Full of Kummerow’s wonderfully drawn and developed characters, Hiding in Plain Sight sucks you in and isn’t easily put down. A real 5 star read!

[R Evans · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a well crafted story focusing on the aftermath of Ww2 where in a chaotic environment, a former ss officer is in holding under an assumed identity. He is recognised by a Roma woman who is still fighting prejudice against her and recovering from the trauma of being in Belzec camp. The book becomes a battle of wills. The Ss officer is fighting to avoid justice yet is pursued relentlessly by the girl, making this a taught thriller that throws light on attitudes towards the Holocaust just after the way. It is an eye opening book on a part of ww2 that is relatively unknown making this a thoroughly worthwhile read.

Hiding In Plain Sight written by the highly acclaimed German author Marion Kummerow.

Hiding in Plain Sight is an interesting book depicting the difficulties of German citizens after the end of World War II. It is easy reading and the main character is a likable female who suffered in camps during the war and is trying to seek revenge when she unwittingly crosses paths with a former Nazi war criminal. She is amazingly courageous and resilient and one cannot help rooting for her to succeed against overwhelming odds.

I received this book as an advanced reader copy and will write my honest review. What a compelling story about Roxy, a gypsy woman who as a child was placed in a concentration camp during the Nazi occupation. After she was released, she swore she would see Goslar, the cruel head of the camp, brought to justice for his crimes against humanity. He was a hateful person who punished and killed the captives for power and fun. This is a riveting story of how she sets out to accomplish this life affirming goal; definitely a must read.

1947, Roma, a gypsy, survived a concentration camp, but has never forgotten, the cruelty and the terrible ordeal she suffered, lost all her family, under camp commander Goslar.
He killed hundreds and had stolen the identity of Erwin, a German soldier, who died, so he could start a new life, without paying for his inhumane war crimes. David, her husband, the only good thing in her life, understands her obsession in wanting him to stand trial and pay for what he did. I read this book in a day, it was suspenseful and riveting. I was happy with the ending.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the opportunity to read this book. I have never really given much thought to what happened to the survivors after WWII - not just concentration camp survivors but all the survivors. This book was a little glimpse into life at that time. I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. Ut was fairly quick paced and well written. I would read more by this author.
