Books
Here is a fresh, funny family history following the lives of comedian Jess Robinson and her German Jewish grandmother Rosi. When Grandma Rosi was 23, she was expelled from Nazi Germany and interned as a refugee in Zbąszyń, Poland. She used her diary to document every detail of her experiences, from being deported by the Gestapo to stolen conversations with her first love. When Jess was 23, she was living in London, struggling with a fledgling acting career, a failed love life and rock-bottom self-esteem. She used her diary to rant about her mum and track her daily calories. Well, it was the noughties. Rapidly approaching her 40th birthday - and, honestly, wanting an EU passport to beat the airport queues - comedian and impressionist Jess Robinson finally digs into the archives of her German Jewish ancestry.
