📚🚶♀️Emily’s Walking Book Club Book Review: 📕The Past is Myself by Christabel Bielenberg
Introducing this phenomenal memoir about life in the Third Reich as an English woman married to a non-Nazi German. Trigger warning - I do read out an upsetting scene about the Holocaust - you may want to skip through that bit of the video. I read out a particularly difficult bit about an SS officer, and think about how this book makes us see people as humans and individuals - weak or strong. I think there are so many lessons in this book for life today. Have you read it? What did you think? This is the November 2024 pick for Emily’s walking book club.
