A Simple Girl: Stories My Grandmother Told Me
Edith Flagg is truly an inspiration to all. A Simple Girl tells the life story of a woman who survived the unimaginable and fulfilled the American Dream. Flagg was born in a small town in Romania in 1919. Having traveled to Vienna to go to fashion school at the young age of 15, she watched Hitler march into Austria and decided at that moment she would not let him decide her fate.
From Vienna to the Dutch Underground
Flagg fled Austria to Holland, where she became an active member of the Dutch Underground, an organization that fought Hitler and the Nazi regime. A Simple Girl describes all that Flagg (a single mother) endured during one of history's darkest periods. Her courage and determination to resist oppression showcase the strength of human spirit against tyranny.
Building a Fashion Empire from Nothing
After immigrating to Palestine at the end of the war, Flagg moved to America, where her incredible story becomes that much more amazing. With $5 in her pocket, Flagg managed to become one of the leading fashion designers of her day, and a pillar in the California apparel industry. From a mere $2000, she built a multi-million dollar clothing company and has over the years given vast sums of her wealth to charity.
An Inspirational Memoir for All Generations
This memoir, told through the eyes of her grandson Josh Flagg, preserves the remarkable journey of a woman who refused to be defeated. From fashion school in Vienna to the dangerous work of resistance fighting, from refugee to successful entrepreneur, Edith Flagg's story represents the resilience and determination that defined a generation of survivors. Her legacy continues to inspire everyone who learns of her extraordinary life.
Published by Booksurge Publishing in November 2009, this paperback edition ensures that Edith Flagg's voice and experiences remain accessible to readers seeking authentic accounts of WWII survival, immigration struggles, and the pursuit of the American Dream.
