Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum

This probably isn't a book for the holidays! It is rather depressing but it is interesting if you like historical novels. Anna has stayed mum on her experiences living in Germany during World War II. Her daughter, Trudy, is a professor of German History at a University. She was three when she came to the U.S. The book goes back and forth between Anna's story during the War and Trudy's story in the 90's. I believe this is Jenna's first novel. That is difficult to believe because it is so well-written. That era of history is filled with decisions that could be called moral or immoral - depending on your situation. This is a story of what a mother did for her daughter.
