1932: Berlin newspaper reporter Leo Goldberg joins the New York Post in an exchange program. In the meantime the Nazis take over Germany. They send Leo a letter: “As a Jew, you are no longer acceptable on the staff of a German Newspaper. Heil Hitler.” Leo’s Grandfather Salomon, former head of the now disowned Goldberg bank, tells Leo of gold bars at the confiscated Goldberg villa in Berlin, hidden as bricks in the wine cellar by an ancestor at the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870. If Leo can recover them, it will help him to rescue his young wife Paula, captain of the Berlin Scala Girls who has gone into hiding. She has ridiculed a Nazi official who wants her arrested. Against all odds, Leo makes his way back to Berlin. He finds the gold bars – and he finds Paula. She is now the mistress of the high ranking Gestapo man, Otto Ravenbroich. Paula’s father, Professor Isidor Fischer, is to operate the brain tumor of an important Hitler party official. It must not be known that a Jew operates on a Nazi. Ravenbroich blackmails Paula to be his mistress. He promises to give her and her father an exit visa after the successful operation. Leo Goldberg tricks his way back into the family’s villa. As the fake Sondergruppenführer von Bergolt who is responsible only to Hitler himself, Leo declares the premises as the headquarters of the fake Sondergruppe I. He and Paula use the villa to shelter Jews. With the help of the hidden gold and a corrupt US Vice Consul, Paula and Leo take a bus-load of twenty-eight Berlin Jews as a group of American tourists on an adventurous trip across Germany.

2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A miss... By Jill Meyer Sometimes to understand a book, the reader should know a bit about the author. Pierre Frei, the author of "A Suitcase in Berlin", was born in Berlin and lived through the horrors of the Third Reich and the partition of Berlin. He eventually became a newspaper reporter and after he retired, he wrote an excellent mystery called, "Berlin", which was about the murder of five German women right after the war ended, who were killed by a serial murderer. The protagonists were two policemen - one German and the other an American MP - who investigated the murders, along with the 15 year old son of the German policeman who was in the throes of adolescence. The victims were also given ink as five women who had worked against the Nazi regime - in ways small and large - and were emerging into their post-war lives before they were murdered. I assumed the young son in the story was the young Pierre Frei and his part of the book was a bit slapstick.I mention Pierre Frei and his previous work because I think it is helpful in understanding "A Suitcase in Berlin". This book was set in Berlin in 1938 and is the tale of a German Jewish newspaperman, Leonhard Goldberg, who has moved from Berlin to New York a few years previously. He left behind his wife, Paula, a dancer, who was supposed to join him in New York. She wasn't on the expected boat and he went back to Berlin to try to bring her back. While in Berlin, he ran into a lot of trouble with the authorities and the story slips into rather slapstick mode with Nazi transvestites, a brothel-owner with the proverbial heart-of-gold, wicked Storm Troopers, an American consular official, and other people who aren't as they present themselves. The Goldbergs have had a rather loosey-goosey marriage - well, they have been apart for eight years - but they are happy to see each other. There are also hidden gold bars.Pierre Frei tries to make the story humorous but Nazis rounding up Jews is not inherently amusing. I think he misses the mark in "A Suitcase in Berlin". If you have a choice in reading Pierre Frei's work, I'd go with "Berlin".
