When Time Stopped – A memoir of My Father's War and What Remains

Ariana Neumann grew up as the beloved only child in a wealthy Venezuelan household, doted on by her glamorous mother and her father, Hans, a successful industrialist involved in arts, media and education. Hans was meticulous, the type who saved everything. But when Ariana went to his home after his death, she found everything cleared away but the contents of one drawer. Ariana is here today with her memoir, “When Time Stopped – A memoir of My Father’s War and What Remains”. Of thirty-four Neumann family members, twenty-five were murdered by the Nazis. One of the survivors was Hans Neumann, who, to escape the German death net, traveled to Berlin and hid in plain sight under the Gestapo’s eyes.We had a great discussion of her childhood, her journey in the research of the clues her father left her and much more. This is a great read and a wonderful conversation.
