For Such a Time is a 2014 debut romance novel by Kate Breslin.[1][2][3]
The novel is considered controversial because of its subject matter of a Jewish woman falling in love with the head of a Nazi concentration camp during World War II and then converting to Christianity.[2][4][5][6][7]
In 1944, a blonde-haired and blue-eyed Jewish woman, Hadassah Benjamin, is saved from a firing squad and forced into service by Colonel Aric von Schmidt of the SS. At a military camp in Czechoslovakia, Hadassah hides behind a false identity in order to survive as Colonel Aric’s secretary.
