SAFARI MINE: An African Odyssey 1928-1937

Henriette "Jenny" Kerschon's 21st birthday is nothing to celebrate. She is out of work, out of money, and returning home to the gloomy German village she has tried so hard to escape. Little does Jenny realize that her ship is about to come in, a ship with the funny name of Watussi, and soon she will trade her troubles in Weimar Germany for a whole new life...in Africa.

Thus begins a decade-long odyssey that will carry Jenny from the windswept heights of Cape Town to the sweltering depths of the Belgian Congo...and finally back to the dark heart of Nazi Germany, where Jenny Kerschon must confront an evil she never imagined possible.

SAFARI MINE is based on a true story. It is a story no one has told, and about which very little is known...except by those who lived it.
