Rosie Goldschmidt Waldeck (1898–1982) born Rosa Goldschmidt, also known as Rosie Waldeck and by several other variants of her name, a convert from Judiaidsm, was the author of a number of books including Athene Palace, written just before she fled to the United States at risk of her life from the Nazis. "As European capitals fell during 1940 and 1941, diplomats, generals, Gestapo spies, and demimondaines from all over Europe swarmed to the Athene Palace, Bucharest's Grand Hotel. Arriving at the crowded Athene Palace on the day Paris fell in 1940, the American journalist Rosa Goldschmidt Waldeck watched, for the seven months, all the events and the international figures that made Romania Europe's last sensational hotbed of intrigue and color."See Amazon book review athttp://www.amazon.com/Athene-Palace-Rosie-G-Waldeck/dp/973980912Xhttp://www.filesonic.com/file/994165751/Athene_Palace_Bucharest.pdfhttp://www.megaupload.com/?d=P1W1IENEhttp://depositfiles.com/files/c1w3em2eohttp://www.fileserve.com/file/nnNzWsb
