The Shopkeeper of Alsace

by Laura Knoy

One unstoppable woman. Two World Wars. Based on a True Story.

Eighty years after the end of WWII comes a unique story: The Shopkeeper of Alsace. Its star: Sarah Seibert, a businesswoman, mother, and wife, whose girlhood during WWI in Poland means she’s more than prepared for this second global conflict. Or so she thinks…

Unfolding in exceptional settings, uncovering forgotten history, The Shopkeeper of Alsace is an intimate immigrant family story alongside a wider tale: of a once-proud nation, its downfall, and the brave, decent people who save it.
