Her own identity was safely disguised.... but what about those she loved most?
Vienna Prelude opens in pre-World War II Austria. Elisa Lindheim, a violinist with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, is of Jewish heritage but has adopted an Aryan stage name. Thus she is able to travel and play in Germany even though a 1935 law forbade Jewish musicians to do so. Her dear friend Leah, a cellist, and her husband Shimon must escape Austria or perish in the looming Holocaust.
John Murphy, a reporter for the New York Times in Berlin and Austria, becomes linked with English politicians in a plan to overthrow Hitler. Elisa and John's mutual connections with the Jewish Underground entagle them in a web of intrigue, danger, and conspiracy that neither could have known.
Nazi darkness was descending upon Europe -- would their lives ever be the same?
