Some Girls, Some Hats and Hitler: A True Love Story Paperback - 2014
by Trudi Kanter
Summary
An âÈêinstantly mesmerizingâÈë (Oprah.com) and âÈêvaluable piece of social historyâÈë (Chicago Jewish Star)âÈ'the astonishing memoir of a âÈêvivid, tenacious, and absolutely unforgettableâÈë (Bookreporter.com) woman whose courage and resourcefulness kept her and her beloved safe after the Nazis invaded Austria.
Vienna, 1938: Trudi Kanter, stunning, chic, and charismatic, is a renowned hat designer for EuropeâÈçs stylish women. She frequents the most elegant cafés, flies to Paris for fashion shows, and has fallen in love with a handsome businessman. âÈêWe were young and the world was ours,âÈë she writes. But in the blink of an eye, Hitler comes to power and KanterâÈçs world collapses. She and her family embark on âÈêan incredible odysseyâÈë (Booklist) across Europe, desperate to escape Nazi-occupied Austria.
Nearly fifty years later, Kanter wrote her own harrowing story and published Some Girls, Some Hats, and Hitler in 1984. After her death, the book went out of print and this extraordinary true tale was lost until a British editor rediscovered it in a used bookshop. Now in paperback, we are again given the chance to read this remarkable âÈêmemoir of an era that must not be forgottenâÈë (Shelf Awareness)âÈ'a book that has been described as both âÈêa matter-of-fact description of menace and impending dangerâÈë (The Wall Street Journal) and âÈêa poem of loveâÈë (Chicago Jewish Star).

Media reviews
âÈêFor even in Nazi Vienna, Trudi realized, women still looked in the mirrorâÈö.Her book is also about the appetite for life, for clothes and hats, and food, and cocktails, and sex, and furnishings, and good company, and conversation. She knew that even in the bleak darkness, we feel, love, desire. She left no child (she and Walter tried, with no success); her hats are long lost, but her book is her legacy, discovered once again.âÈë
