I Am My Own Wife: The True Story of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf by Charlotte von Mahlsdorf

5.0

Absolutely fucking amazing book of survival and pure/quiet independence. Born a man right before the nazis' took over, dresses like a woman and is gay yet somehow survives nazis'. Then takes over abandoned building and makes it into a museum of the time period he loves most. I want to go visit him and his museum, this book is one to buy and to buy another copy to give away. 10 copies to give away...maybe more.
