Ebook: Eine blaßblaue Frauenschrift: (Novelle 1941)

In October 1936, Leonidas - a director at Austria's Department of Education - received a private letter in a woman's pale blue handwriting. In it, Vera Wormser, a Jew with whom he had a love affair years ago, asks him to protect a “young talented man” who has to leave Germany “for the usual and known reasons.” With this news, a world collapses for Leonidas, whose “complete sovereignty” was recognized only formally by Nazi Germany.
