About this ebook
The Last Train from Berlin is an account of the life of Marianne Hofmann, born May 28th, 1917 in Berlin Germany during the height of World War l. Perhaps her birth at such a tumultuous time, prior to the new birth of Berlin, played an important role in shaping her equally tumultuous personality.
Marianne struggled through World War ll finding employment for the German military, then an internment in a Russian prison camp. After escaping from that camp, she gathered up her daughter and moved as far south as she could to Fuessen, Germany. She found employment for the American Army as a secretary during the day and waitressed and managed the German Baumgarten Restaurant in Fuessen, frequented by American soldiers. With the help of a W.A.C. - Marianne and her daughter Christel moved to the United States, where she received a service offer from the C.I.A.
Marianne found her footing in New York City. She married, purchased a well-known delicatessen, then set her sights on cleaning up Manhattan streets and her neighborhood by Arden street with the help of the 34th Police Precinct.
Like an energetic pendulum, Marianne lived life swinging to both ends of a spectrum, touching countless lives along the way.
