- Summary:
- In The Dance of the Panther, Ingeborg Glasser takes her readers on an emotional journey through her childhood in Germany at a time of tyranny, war, and genocide. As the daughter of an alcoholic Jewish father and fiery mother, who was born Catholic but converted to Judaism for her husband, Ingeborg and her sister fought to overcome bigotry and a tumultuous home life as they pursued their dreams of becoming actresses. But as the Nazi regime tightened its grip and her parents' marriage fell apart, merely staying alive became their ultimate pursuit. Thrilling, gut-wrenching, and at times humorous and outrageous, The Dance of the Panther is a first-rate memoir with brains and heart.
