About
The Daughters of Marburg follows the story of two young women and their father who, shortly after the tyrannical November Pogroms, inhabit a home once owned by a Jewish family. While investigating their surroundings, Lilly, the main character, discovers a journal left by the Jewish girl who had fled the house with nothing but the clothes on her back. Through reading her entries, Lilly's eyes are opened to the brutality of the Nazi ideology. The real threat, she realizes, is the totalitarian power that is being wielded liberally in Marburg by a cruel SS Major. Coupled with affection for the neighboring boy, Wilhelm, Lilly is convinced that she must take action against the wicked regime in whatever capacity she can offer. Recruited into the secret resistance in Marburg, Lilly is forced to decide between her family's safety and her conscience.
