Description
Berta Altmann's search for freedom takes her from Vienna to the Bauhaus school in Weimar Berlin and Prague. As she encounters celebrated artists, she engages in aesthetic and ideological battles that will prove to have life-and-death consequences. Based on the real-life story of Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, who taught art to children in a Nazi transport camp and died in Auschwitz, this novel is framed by the lens of a 21st-century Israeli film crew. Their presence unknowingly unleashes the haunting force of buried history. A multigenerational saga inspired by Bauhaus artists, Aaron's Leap explores the impact of the Holocaust's legacy on those who came after.
