Some girls, some hats, and Hitler

a love story
2012
In 1938 Trudi Kanter was a hat designer for the best-dressed women in Vienna. She was stunningly beautiful, chic, charismatic, and frequented the most elegant cafes with her many suitors. She flew to Paris regularly to see the latest fashions. She soon fell deeply in love with businessman Walter Ehrlich. As Hitler's tanks rolled into Austria, the world this young Jewish couple knew collapsed. Their flight from Vienna to Prague to blitzed London details her courage, resourcefulness, and perseverance that kept them both safe. Found in a secondhand bookshop in London and first published in 1984, this book gives readers a second chance to discover Trudi's story. She died in 1992.
