She knows that even in the bleak darkness, we feel, love, desire. She left no child (she and Walter tried, with no success); her hats are long lost, but her book is her legacy, discovered once again.” \u003c\/i\u003e—From the introduction by Linda Grant, a uthor of \u003ci\u003eThe Clothes on Their Backs, The Thoughtful Dresser \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eWe Had It So Good\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1938 Trudi Kanter, stunningly beautiful, chic and charismatic, was a hat designer for the best-dressed women in Vienna. She frequented the most elegant cafés. She had suitors. She flew to Paris to see the latest fashions. And she fell deeply in love with Walter Ehrlich, a charming and romantic businessman. But as Hitler’s tanks rolled into Austria, the world this young Jewish couple knew collapsed, leaving them desperate to escape. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn prose that cuts straight to the bone, \u003ci\u003eSome Girls, Some Hats and Hitler \u003c\/i\u003etells the true story of Trudi’s astonishing journey from Vienna to Prague to blitzed London seeking safety for her and Walter amid the horror engulfing Europe.
