February 1942: Terrifying reports of the Wehrmacht’s advance across the Soviet Union spread like wildfire, striking new fear into the already oppressed German families living there. Harri Pfeiffer, now sixteen, is summoned to the forced labour camp in Chelyabinsk. Three years later, with the war finally over, Yvo Scholz arrives in Chelyabinsk, desperate for news of her brother. Still uncertain of the fate of her father, it takes all Yvo’s unshakeable courage to build a new life for herself. When their paths intersect, Harri and Yvo find a connection they never thought possible.

With the first anniversary of Michael's death approaching, Amy buries herself in her job as an archivist.

For months, Marianne’s resistance network has carried out courageous missions from a remote farmhouse in Southern Provence, aiding the Nazis’ downfall. But one fateful night, they are viciously ambushed as German soldiers storm in, scattering, capturing or killing every last person there. Mourning the loss of her friends, Marianne will need every ounce of courage to survive. Not only has her life as a secret agent been critically compromised, but her heart has been shattered. Because Jack, her darling fiancé and fellow spy, fled in the chaos–and is accused of being a traitor.

When Katja Heinz secures a job as a typist in Hamburg working for Doctor Viktor’s clinic, she doesn’t expect to be writing up top secret medical records. Doctor Viktor treated soldiers for PTSD at the end of the first world war – and one of the patients was none other than Adolf Hitler.... The notes in his possession declare Hitler unfit for office; exposing such a secret would destroy the Fuhrer's reputation, and perhaps even change the course of the war.

Resumen del Editor
As World War II approaches, two families run for their lives - and for the future of all they hold dear.
1930: As raids and violent arrests sweep through their Crimean village, two families are forced to make desperate choices in order to keep themselves - and their hope - alive.
The Pfeiffers get out as quickly as they can, braving a last-minute escape in the dead of night. Their friends the Scholzes are less lucky. Captured and transported to labour camps in the icy Far North, the future seems a bleak, dark nightmare for the couple and their three children.
As the 1930s march towards the inevitable horror of war, and Europe is engulfed in hostility and persecution, the Pfeiffers find there is only so long - and so far - you can run before someone uncovers your past…
In their darkest hours, these two families must do everything - anything - to survive. Will they ever find peace in the new world order?
The first in a two-part touching and authentic family saga about a hitherto little-known chapter in history.

In 1937, the Shwartz family lived a calm life in their small village in Poland.

But all that changed when the war reached Butla. First, the Russians came and kicked them out of their house. Then, the Nazis came to cart them off. But the Shwartz family resisted. David decided that no matter what, his family would not be taken captive. Instead, he snuck his family out of their village and into Hungary.

Lina Meisel, a retired librarian in Florida, is reading the newspaper one morning when she freezes. Her eyes lock on a photograph of a book she hasn’t seen in 65 years - a book she recognizes as The Book of Lost Names. The accompanying article discusses the looting of libraries by the Nazis across Europe during World War II - an experience Lina remembers well - and the search to reunite people with the texts stolen from them so long ago. The book in the photograph is one of the most fascinating cases.

In 1937, the Shwartz family lived a calm life in their small village in Poland. Fifteen-year-old Rachel liked to sing and go out dancing at a local night club, while her older brother David was busy running a farm and raising a family with his wife Hinda. But all that changed when the war reached Butla. First, the Russians came and kicked them out of their house. Then, the Nazis came to cart them off. But the Shwartz family resisted. David decided that no matter what, his family would not be taken captive. Instead, he snuck his family out of their village and into Hungary.

I want all those in USA who are for socialism/communism to listen to this audio
As I listened I thanked God I lived in a country in which {so far] I’m free to talk and think the way I want Wonderful freedoms we have here. Yes there was equality for the German -Russian people in far western Russia. They equally lost their homes livelihood arrests for no reason .they equally were worked to death and starved equally. This particular book may not be true but based on my stories in Russia in the 1930’s only the names are different I was both very interested and very concerned about the subject matter. The narrator was great. No sex or profanity. The profanity was the Russian communist treatment of human beings. . It follows two families and I loved both of them every members...but a lot of vicious and cruel people were there too. Will listen to part two today. Author one of the best I’ve ever listened to.

Strength of Women
In a time when women were mostly considered mothers and housewives, this book really shows the strength and courage of the women who were left to tend to life as their husbands were shipped off to war or work camps.
The characters are well drawn and each is given a very distinct personality by the perfect narration of Ms. Gati.
