The Jewish Hospital

Experience a gripping World War II novel inspired by the true history of Berlin’s Jewish Hospital. This story follows Lena Schild, a young Bavarian nurse who arrives at the last operating Jewish hospital in the Third Reich. What begins as an escape from a difficult life in Munich quickly escalates into a perilous journey as Lena navigates whispered rumors, disappearing patients, and the constant surveillance of the SS.

Working alongside her friend Sophie, Lena enters a world where every act of care is an act of bravery, and every decision carries immense weight. As the hospital faces increasing pressure and loyalties are tested, Lena must confront profound questions about faith, friendship, and the boundaries of compassion under a brutal regime.

This novel is a testament to quiet defiance and the remarkable resilience of those who fought to preserve humanity during the darkest of times.

Praise for The Jewish Hospital:

Ultimately, Jonathan forces us to believe humanity can exist in the most evil of times.” —Heather Morris, New York Times bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz
• “Hammel’s vivid imagery and deft storytelling remind us that there are infinite grey areas between the extremes of good and evil.
