Stories of the Life I Lived is the lively account of an epic life. Erika Hall was born into a prosperous German family of Jewish heritage in 1923; survived the Nazi era through equal measures of ingenuity, courage, and luck; and married into a patrician American family to live the post-war dream, with its bounties and heartbreaks.
Her book is filled with events and characters that live on in the memory, radiating a philosophy of faith, hope, and love for God’s green earth. Erika Hall has contributed a valuable testimony to historians of the period, and a gift to the generations to come.
