Description: "Weeds Don't Perish is the story of Hanna Braun; a passionate, wry, rebellious woman with a zest for life. It is a story of life lived to the full. Her tale begins in 1937 when her Jewish family are forced to flee Berlin to escape persecution. Hanna finds herself living in Palestine at the age of ten, and is swept away by Zionist ideology, joining the Haganah at the behest of her uncle ... Her later years are ... marked by painful experiences, as she encounters more ethnic and racial intolerance wherever she goes, and comes face-to-face with her past, confronting the reality of being a child of war whilst visiting Holocaust memorial sites around Europe."--Back cover.
