BlogTour for The Orphans of Berlin by Author Jina Bacarr
A charming review for my The Orphans of Berlin
by a lovely newcomer to blogging who took the time to read my story and give her thoughts. Thank you!
My Review: As the title and cover suggest, the story is set in war time. We follow a young jewish girl who escaped Germany with her 2 sisters and the help of some fake papers. Sadly, her sisters are discovered and taken. Harsh choices have to be made, I had to wonder if I would make the same ones. Would I let my family go down or would I go down with them? Who can you trust? We also follow Kay an american woman and her intricate story. It’s amazing what these women go through and put themselves through. Heart breaking and well written.
The Orphans of Berlin

A review I will never forget… thank you so much, Ginger, from history nerd to another!
The Orphans of Berlin: 1939 How far would you go to save your daughters?
Yes, The Orphans of Berlin is now available!
I’ve been holding my breath for this moment… a long road… years in the making in a very personal way that made me cry as I write this.
Meet the Landau Sisters barely surviving in Nazi Germany… and Kay Alexander, the amazing debutante from Philadelphia who will stop at nothing to save them from the Nazis in 1939 Berlin…
And of course, there’s a British pilot hero to die for…
PS — in case you’re wondering about the items in the photo — cigarette case engraved with a map of the UK is a vintage piece like the one the hero gives to Kay, my heroine (I use it to keep stamps), and the cigarette holder is a prop I had from a play I did…
The string of pearls I’ve had since I was 16; chocolate pieces because Kay is a candy heiress and a Philadelphia deb — she was Debutante of the Year 1934. The photo is similar to what you’d see on the society pages in the 1930s announcing Kay’s ‘coming out’.
