While I was of course delighted that the Washington Post did a full page and very kind review of my latest book “The Einstein Vendetta” last weekend, the shuttering of its book section is grim, grim, grim.
This #HolocaustRemembranceDay we're reading The House on the Canal: The story of the house that hid Anne Frank by @thomasharding & @BTeckentrup. This is a beautiful book for a wide age range, that spans over 400 years of history, including that of the Frank family. @WalkerBooksUK
Published this week in the USA by
@HachetteUS and @UnionSqandCo "THE EINSTEIN VENDETTA" which tells the true story of how Hitler's regime assassinated Albert Einstein's family members in Florence, August 1944.
Pleased to announce that @AlexanderHausGG has received the Berlin Brandenburg Prize. Thankyou
@SZukunftBerlin and the Brandenburgischen Gesellschaft für Kultur und Geschichte. ❤️

This week's events were incredibly moving. First event was held at the town hall of Rignano sull’Arno. This was close to the villa where the Einstein family was murdered in 1944. each year the community commemorates what happened and holds the story close. Second event at Firenze synagogue with survivors of the Holocaust, hearing directly from eye witnesses. Third event in Prato speaking to high school students about the history of WW2 in Italy. A huge honour to meet with people who have lived this story and to discuss my book about the Einstein murders.
