"A gripping, intriguing World War II novel capturing the loss of innocence of a young Jewish girl. I cried. I raged. I despaired. Ultimately, Jonathan forces us to believe humanity can exist in the most evil of times."
--Heather Morris, New York Times bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz

"Hammel's vivid imagery and deft storytelling remind us that there are infinite grey areas between the extremes of good and evil. Suspenseful to the very end, The Jewish Hospital will quicken your pulse as each life-altering decision unfolds."
--Georgia Hunter, New York Times bestselling author of We Were the Lucky Ones

Berlin, 1942.

In a city governed by fear and ruled by the quiet machinery of Nazi terror, young Bavarian nurse Lena Schild arrives at the Jewish Hospital--the last refuge of its kind still operating during the Third Reich. What begins as an escape from a harsh life in Munich soon becomes something far more perilous as Lena finds herself navigating whispered rumors, vanishing patients, and the ever-present gaze of the SS.

Living and working alongside her bold and brilliant friend Sophie, Lena steps into a world where every act of care is an act of courage, and every choice carries a weight she never imagined. As pressure on the hospital mounts and loyalties are tested in ways neither woman is prepared for, Lena is forced to confront questions of faith, friendship, and the limits of compassion under a regime built on cruelty.

Inspired by the haunting true history of Berlin's Jewish Hospital, The Jewish Hospital is a story of quiet defiance and the extraordinary resilience of those who struggled to keep humanity alive in the darkest of times.

About the Author
Jonathan Hammel is a Paris-based physician and novelist whose debut, Stéthos & Cie, won the Hippocrates Book Prize. The Jewish Hospital was inspired by the wartime experiences of his grandmother, who served as a nurse at the institution during the Second World War. Drawing on years of research, family testimony, and visits to the hospital in Berlin, Hammel brings to life a little-known chapter of history with emotional precision and depth. In addition to his medical work, Hammel is a pianist, composer, and host of the Bloodflow podcast, where he interviews leading creators and performers from around the world.
