Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments Eve's Tattoo, Emily Prager, 1991, United States/Germany (United States), NOVEL

"...As a gynecologist performing an illegal abortion, Eva "was in the middle of the curettage when the Gestapo started pounding on the door. She gestured to Heidi [her assistant] to sit quietly and do nothing while she calmly and methodically finished up just as they smashed in the door glass." All these Evas suffered at the hands of Hitler; it didn't matter if they supported, were indifferent to, or opposed him—he took their lives."

(H.S., p. 180)
