About this listen

 For 50 years Anna Schlemmer has refused to talk about her life in Germany during World War II. Her daughter, Trudy, was only three when she and her mother were liberated by an American soldier and went to live with him in Minnesota. Trudy's sole evidence of the past is an old photograph: a family portrait showing Anna, Trudy, and a Nazi officer, the Obersturnfuhrer of Buchenwald. Driven by the guilt of her heritage, Trudy, now a professor of German history, begins investigating the past and finally unearths the dramatic and heartbreaking truth of her mother's life.©2004 Jenna Blum (P)2005 W.F. Howes Ltd. Historical Fiction Fiction

Critic reviews

"This is a poised, hair-raising debut." (Publishers Weekly)

An excellent, gripping, thought provocking 'story book'. My only problem with it was some of the historical facts - the American & Russians liberating Germany and not a British Regiment in sight - but I won't hold that against the author, as the rest of the book was superb.

Really enjoyed this book. It really gets you thinking...a good storyline following the lives of a mother and her daughter..as well as the horrific stories of the 2nd world war and the effect it had on everyone involved.

Enjoyable
