But Teddy Murphy finds that Vogler's attorneys aren't prepared to give up without a fight...and as the widow of a World War II veteran, she makes a sympathetic witness. Teddy learns that she has no proof of purchase, her husband sent the painting home from Europe near the end of the war, and a mystery surrounds where and how he got it. Armed with this information and Markus Steiner's diary, Teddy sets out to prove that the Steiner Foundation should rightfully own the painting. Joined by his girlfriend Judith Frazer, Teddy learns about Markus from the trenches of World War I to his daring escape from Nazi Germany, as together they watch a remarkable life story unfold in the pages of Markus' diary, while they pursue every available avenue to find out the truth about the painting.

I never really understood the details of and always wondered how mindful, intelligent people could allow what went on in Germany to transpire. Shirar offers an extremely probable scenario.Through the portrait of Franz Winterhlters’, Young Girl Called Princess Charlotte, Gerard Shirar tells a tail of innocence lost, as he weaves the history of Germany and the persecution of the Jewish people, through the intriguing first hand journal accounts of an art dealer; Markus Steiner.I found a section when Teddy Murphy was talking to his girlfriend about Markus’s diary, very poignant.No matter how bad things seem avoid people with promises of easy solutions and radical ideas that prey on prejudice. What happened in Germany can also happen here and it reminds me of story they tell about Benjamin Franklin when the founding fathers were planning our form of government in Philadelphia. One afternoon a women stopped Franklin on the street and asked ,’What type of government are you going to give us Mr. Franklin?’ Franklin is reported to have answered “A Republic, Madam if you can keep it”This is a really good, thought provoking read. I got the kindle addition and think that the upload to pdf was a little off. However it didn’t distract from the story line, for me.

This historical fiction takes readers back to World War II and leads them on a journey for the truth. Art, history, and intrigue will sweep readers off their feet and back in time.The Girl Called Princess Charlotte by Gerard Shirar is spectacular. The characters leave readers on edge as the court process begins...readers hold their breath hoping for a good outcome. Similarities from this to the Woman in Gold movie is fascinating. A Jewish painting with a long line of history is now worth millions. World War II in Germany was a terrifying endless moment in history that those in the present day will never forget. Nazi take what once belonged to the Jewish people of Germany. They had their rights stripped, their possessions taken, and countless thousands were killed. Families were torn, fear in every direction...any kind of resistance lured not only the Jewish owner but the owner's family to death. The Girl Called Princess Charlotte by Gerard Shirar is a startling truth that should be uncovered and read by all. Gerard Shirar's writing is well-developed and awe-inspiring. It shows readers that even after so much time has gone by that justice can prevail. Overall, I highly recommend this historical novel to readers worldwide.

While the lawyers are working on the case behind it, a story begins to develop from the diaries of a young man named Markus. The mystery behind the painting is fascinating and it makes for a great and intriguing read.Honestly, when I first began I wasn't sure how I felt about this book. It was a bit slow to start, but it soon had me deeply sucked into the story. This book has a lot of history and so it made it a great read to me. I absolutely fell in love with the character of Markus. His writing in the diaries is so real. He was in the war. He saw the Nazi parties, he saw the discrimination against the Jews.It all had a very real feel to it. It was hard not to like him and feel for him through all his journeys. He was very colorful in his diary and you see the world and the aftermath from all sides. He painted a very clear picture of his life and what was really going on in the world during this time.If you love history like I do, this book will be right up your alley....Stormi
