Trudy Gold
Wicked Women: The Strange Case of Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe

Tuesday 3.12.2024

Summary

Born in Vienna during the last gasp of the Hapsburg Empire, this extraordinarily talented and seductive Jewish woman blazed a trail across Europe and America. She had a son by Franz Joseph’s son-in-law, married into the aristocracy, and used her charm to seduce powerful, influential men. Totally unscrupulous, von Hohenlohe was close to the Nazi high command, and at the centre of right-wing and fascist circles. This is just the beginning of her story.
