Title: Escape
Description: Emmy Ritter, after twenty-five years in America, returned to Germany to sell her old home—and was condemned to death as a political prisoner. She had no hope, for she could not know that her prison doctor still considered her a famous actress—that her son and an old family servant were near—that a Countess, mistress of a Nazi General, unwittingly would come to her aid. But all these set to work to thwart Nazi brutality, some through love and loyalty, others through an unnamed desire for freedom and decency.
