About this listen
For Krista Schneider and her sister, Mila, growing up in the village of Bleichenbach in central Germany was a happy and joyful existence. But that happiness ends abruptly when the harsh realities of life under the Nazi regime is visited upon them.
Her family has been hiding a critical secret from Krista, that when exposed, sets off a chain reaction of events that leads to families being detained, separated, and some murdered.
Krista believes her entire family has been killed when she's taken to live with a woman who works for the Gestapo. It’s when she finds out that her father is alive and has been exiled to an army installation in the north, that she makes it her life’s mission to find him. Krista escapes and tries to take refuge by heading deep into the ominous Bavarian Forest to avoid detection while looking for him.
Unbeknownst to Krista, the forest isn’t safe either, as its sinister darkness plays host to tortured and terrifying spirits who bear the scars of war.

An inspiring account from one of history’s darkest moments. Marione Ingram grew up in Hamburg, Germany, in the late 1930s and early 1940s. She was German. She was Jewish. She was a survivor. This is her story. As a young girl, Marione was aware that people of the Jewish faith were regarded as outsiders, the supposed root of Germany’s many problems. She grew up in an apartment building where neighbors were more than happy to report Jews to the Gestapo.

If this was the author‘s first novel , in my opinion, she may have promise. I liked the plot, but too many occurrences were so implausible it strains the imagination, even for fiction.
