Book summary:

Delve into the deeply moving story of Ten Green Bottles, a testament to the fierce human spirit to survive against all odds. Based on the raw and riveting life-stories shared by Nini Karpel to her daughter Vivian Jeanette Kaplan, the narrative explores the grim times when ordinary people became heroes. Born amidst the romantic charm of Vienna in the 1920s, Nini cherished her idyllic life. However, as the 1930s saw Hitler rise to power, an undercurrent of hate swept the city, and antisemitism, an unimaginable horror in the socially advanced world of Vienna, became a reality. In search of refuge, the Karpel family found themselves in Shanghai, China, about seven thousand miles away from home. The city was a bewildering mix of dramatic contrasts, with rampant diseases and poverty for many, and unbelievable wealth for a few. For Nini's family, this incongruent place became their new home and sanctuary amidst the raging war. Immerse yourself in this heroic tale of survival that travels from the grandeur of Vienna to the chaos of Shanghai, resonating with the strength of human endurance.
