Jess Robinson's book, Life Is Rosi, uncovers the hidden past of her grandmother, Rosi Schul, a Jewish woman who survived arrest, internment, and deportation by the Nazis. Drawing from Rosi's diaries between 1938 and 1943, the story reveals her resilience and courage as she cared for children in the face of unimaginable hardship, ultimately escaping to England via the Kindertransport. The narrative is interwoven with Jess's own diaries from 2006, highlighting the parallels and contrasts between their lives as young women, and exploring the enduring bonds of family, trauma, and identity. The book also delves into the family's quest for German citizenship and the complex legacy Rosi left for her daughters and granddaughters, culminating in a moving reunion and a sense of reclaimed belonging.
