Charlotte Salomon is born into a family stricken by suicide & a country at war
- but there is something exceptional about her. She has a gift, a talent for painting. & she has a great love, for a brilliant, eccentric musician. But just as she is coming in to her own as an artist, death is coming to control her country. The Nazis have come to power &, a Jew in Berlin, her life is narrowing
- she is kept from her art, torn from her love & her family, chased from her country. & still she is not safe, not from the madness that has hunted her family, or the one gripping Europe.. . Charlotte is a heart-breaking true story
- inspiring, unflinching, awful, hopeful
- of a life filled with curiosity, animated by genius & cut short by hatred. A beautifully, lucidly told memorial, it has become an international sensation.
