false<![CDATA[Those Who Save Us]]>http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170359672m/49465.jpg494659For fifty 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 Obersturmführer of Buchenwald.
Driven by the guilt of her heritage, Trudy, now a professor of German history, begins investigating the past and finally unearths the heartbreaking truth of her mother's life.
Combining a passionate, doomed love story, a vivid evocation of life during the war, and a poignant mother-daughter drama, Those Who Save Us is a profound exploration of what we endure to survive and the legacy of shame.34029132004Those Who Save Ustotal:3990|5:1394|4:1723|3:685|2:160|1:28|39901626562191083510falsefalseMon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007Tue May 29 13:57:38 -0700 2007Tue Jun 12 13:18:04 -0700 2007

This book has neither of those problems. The two stor...more...]]>
