Books by Stefanie Zweig

Stefanie Zweig was born in Leobschutz, Upper Silesia, in 1932. In 1938 she and her parents fled to Kenya, as a result of Nazi persecution. In 1944 her father enlisted in the British Army, which enabled the family to return to Germany in 1947. Upon their return, Stefanie, who could not read or write German, had problems adjusting to this alien world. She worked as a journalist for a Jewish newspaper, and in 1963 she became the chief editor of the culture section of the Abendpost-Nachtausgabe in Frankfurt. She has been working as a freelance journalist and author since 1988 and is the author of several award-winning novels. Her autobiographical novels Nirgendwo in Afrika and Irgendwo in Deutschland have become bestsellers.
