Germany, 1932-1940. A dying young film professional. A nurse married to an SS officer. Seven years of stolen love in a sanatorium while Germany burns. Peter Hoffman contracts tuberculosis the same year Hitler takes power. Isolated at Beelitz Heilstätten, he watches the Weimar Republic collapse through sanatorium windows—until Trudy Fischer gives him a reason to survive. But Trudy is married to a man who builds concentration camps. Their love exists in locked rooms and whispered hours. When escape to Switzerland becomes possible, she makes a choice that will save Peter's life and break his heart. A Falling Star: A story of love, sacrifice, and testimony in the shadow of the Holocaust.
