Book
The Einstein vendetta: Hitler, Mussolini, and a true story of murder / Thomas Harding.
Florence, August 1944. Fifteen miles southeast of the city, a unit of German soldiers arrive at Il Focardo, the home of Robert Einstein, first cousin of the famous scientist Albert Einstein. Nearby, Robert is hiding out in the Tuscan countryside, while his wife and daughters remain in the villa. Twelve hours later, Nina, Luce and Anna-Maria are brutally murdered. In this book, Thomas Harding recounts the story of an unthinkable crime, one that unspools to reveal Italy's brutal wartime history - its fall to fascism, antisemitism and bitter partisanship - and a family's search for justice.
