This is a beautiful story, but also full of realistic frightening and sad sets of happenings. Loved it! Taking place, mostly in Germany, I have spent lots of time there. My German friends live in Munchen and Dachau so I really related to the plot. Yes, I have been a visitor to the concentration camp, four times so have witnessed the transformations as a tourist site. In 1977, nobody was there so we truly felt the experience, amidst the drizzles and gray clouds. An American friend had been a liberator of the camp and had shared his incredible experiences with us. The author certainly performed a magnificent research. Thanks!

I was on the edge of my seat the whole book. Beautifully written!

I’ve read a plethora of Historical Fiction books about the Holocaust, but this book is special. At one point, it was so heavy that I almost had to put it down and walk away. I’m so glad that I didn’t. The ending was perfect and exactly what I needed after the author broke my heart haha!!

Having visited Dachau I was looking for a book that would take me back in time to understand how life was like then. This book did that for me in a way that brought family, love, and the awful experiences of war and the Holocaust together.

Grabs you from the first page and doesn't let go!! I've read many books on the holocost but never from the perspective of the German citizens. Gives you a whole new insight!! Very good book!!! I learned a lot!!

This is a wonderful story about a terrible time in history and a time that should never be forgotten...
