Mary Morrissy

Mary Morrissy will work on the first draft of a new novel in which the central character is a Greifer, a Jewish woman employed by the Gestapo to identify other Jews living underground. Such women prowled the night spots of the city, pointing out Jews who were living incognito. Many of them had turned informer to avoid being sent to the camps and thus balanced the complicated equation of betrayal and survival.
