Before The Storm: Memories of My Youth in Old Prussia

Author Marion Donhoff, editor and publisher of Germany’s leading newspaper Die Zeit, is known as an outspoken voice of reason and common sense in a country torn by self-doubt, confused pride, and guilty reproach about its past. She is also one of the surviving members of a great and noble family that lived on a celebrated estate in East Prussia, lost to Russia and the Red Army in 1945.
