Amazon #1 Bestseller in 4 Countries!

One woman’s quest for truth reveals a dark family secret long buried in Prague’s Nazi past.

  • WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Fall 2015 -- Best Books in Fiction
  • FINALIST: Readers' Favorite Book Award 2016 -- Historical Fiction

"A powerful story... with poignant lessons about choices and consequences." ~ Readers' Favorite Book Reviews

"Imagine Stephen King wrote Schindler's List..." ~ Nikki

Every family holds to secrets, but some are far darker, reach deeper, and touch a rawer nerve than others.

Vanesa Neuman is the daughter of Holocaust survivors, and her childhood in the cramped intimacy of south Tel Aviv is shadowed by her parents’ unspoken wartime experiences. The past for her was a closed book… until her father passes away and that book falls literally open. Vanesa must now unravel the mystery of the diary she has received—and the strange symbol within—at all costs.

Set against the backdrop of the Nazi occupation and the Jewish Museum of Prague—Adolf Eichmann’s “Museum of an Extinct Race”—Galerie is fast-paced historical fiction in the tradition of Tatiana De Rosnay’s Sarah’s Key. From Jerusalem’s Yad V’Shem Holocaust research center, to the backstreets of Prague, and into the former “paradise ghetto” of Theresienstadt, Vanesa’s journey of understanding will reveal a darker family past than she ever imagined—a secret kept alive for over half a century.

PERFECT FOR BOOK CLUBS: A book club guide is included at the end of the story.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a thrilling work of historical fiction that examines how Holocaust horrors still resonate generations later, and how even deep wounds of betrayal can ultimately heal. [DRM-Free]

1.0 out of 5 stars Schade um die verschenkte Idee und schade ums Geld
Reviewed in Germany on 5 January 2017

Zu Beginn gleich meine Zusammenfassung: Nicht empfehlenswert.
Und jetzt etwas ausführlicher zum Grund. Ja, "Galerie" beinhaltet ist eine hervorragende schriftstellerische Idee, die sich in eine Reihe anderer Werke mit alternativen Vergangenheiten stellen könnte. Leider ist dieser Versuch, jedenfalls für mich, ziemlich misslungen. Da sind solche Kleinigkeiten, wie das Bestehen der "Galerie" mitten im Herzen von Prag und durch 45 Jahre kommunistischer Überwachungspolitik, nur der Beweis, dass der Autor keine Ahnung von der Verhältnissen in kommunistischen Diktaturen hat. Aber das ist noch das Wenigste und ließe sich verschmerzen. Schlimmer ist es, dass der Autor versucht die gesamte Geschichte der Juden und des Holocaust zusammen mit einer gesamten Familiengeschichte in ein Buch zu quetschen. Dies war ihm nicht vergönnt, er kann sich nicht in eine Reihe mit Mann oder Dostojewski oder Tolstoi stellen, die Ihre Familiengeschichten in umfassende zeitliche und gesellschaftliche Bezüge brachten. Dazu kommt der Hang des Autors ständig zwischen unterschiedlichen Zeiten und Handlungsorten hin und her zu springen. Mehr Bescheidenheit und einfaches Weglassen von Nebensträngen hätte dem Buch mehr als gut getan. Für mich zweifelhaft ist auch sein Stil. Der Autor liebt es anscheinend, Wiederholungen zu verwenden. Zu oft kommt man an Stellen wie: "She had no time to.....She had no time to.....She had no time to.....She had no time to.....
Schade um eine verschenkte Idee.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark but Intriguing historical fiction of WWII Prague and Terezin
Reviewed in the United States on 12 June 2016
Verified Purchase
Although there are numerous locales mentioned in this book, most of the action takes place in Prague, Czech Republic (and nearby Terezin -- the WWII Nazi concentration ghetto). I recently returned from visiting Central Europe, where I spent about 4 days in Prague, including a trip to Terezin. Thus, the book had increased meaning for me, since I was familiar with most of the references and locations contained in the book. If you have never been been to Prague, you definitely want to put it (and Terezin) on your travel "bucket list." If you have been to Prague, you'll enjoy this book all the more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not really for me.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2016

This is a subject that rally interests me and I was pleased to come across this book. However, I was disappointed with it in the end.
This, for me, could so easily have been a 5 star book and is ruined by the constant jumping around with dates. I don't mind books that refer to the past, but it's a different time frame in every chapter and keeping up the interest is hard going. In addition, I found the writing very pretentious with the author clearly loving the "sound of his own voice". The story is good though and I did want to get the end, but why make it such hard work for the reader?
