But in Los Angeles, no-nonsense secretary Liesl Weiss has concerns much closer to home. The Great Depression is tightening its grip and Liesl is the sole supporter of two children, an opinionated mother, and a troubled brother. Leon Lewis is a Jewish lawyer who has watched Adolf Hitler's rise to power--and the increase in anti-Semitism in America--with growing alarm. He believes Nazi agents are working to seize control of Hollywood, the greatest propaganda machine the world has ever known. The trouble is, authorities scoff at his dire warnings. When Liesl loses her job at MGM, her only choice is to work with Leon Lewis and the mysterious Agent Thirteen to spy on her friends and neighbors in her German American community. What Leon Lewis and his spies find is more chilling--and more dangerous--than any of them suspected. Code Name Edelweiss is based on a true story, unknown until recent years: How a lone Jewish lawyer and a handful of amateur spies discovered and foiled Adolf Hitler's plan to take over Hollywood. 541 $d 20230307. 600 14 $a Lewis, Leon $d 1888-1954 $v Fiction. 648 $a Nineteen-Thirties (Decade) $v Fiction. 650 1 $a German Americans $x Fiction. 650 1 $a Jews $x Fiction. 650 $a Single Mothers $v Fiction. 650 $a Antisemitism $v Fiction. 651 $a Hollywood (Los Angeles, California) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical Fiction. 655 7 $a Inspirational Fiction. 655 $a Christian Fiction. 655 7 $a Spy Fiction. 941 $a 22 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20240409011521.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20240301010335.0 952 $l HQPD845 $d 20240206021155.0 952 $l JNPC081 $d 20231227013757.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206012340.0 952 $l TXPC862 $d 20231128010857.0 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20231128010712.0 952 $l ZTPC475 $d 20231107011629.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20231102011031.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012021336.0 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20231010012007.0 952 $l SXPC124 $d 20230722012156.0 952 $l ENPC715 $d 20230711011118.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20230706011543.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20230704010500.0 952 $l CHPB482 $d 20230622010539.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20230617010107.0 952 $l HIPC765 $d 20230526010352.0 952 $l ZLPD437 $d 20230515144631.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230418010757.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230406010105.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230404020248.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D103A4D0BF1111ED8AFE88FD4CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
