Omschrijving
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.
A compelling and often heart-wrenching work.
Jenna Blum's seductive, subtle style kept me hooked.
