Suspense | Fiction
For fifty years, Anna Schlemmer has refused to talk about
her life in Germany during World War II. 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 Obersturmfuhrer of
Buchenwald. Driven by the guilt of her heritage,
Trudy, now a professor of German history, begins
investigating the past and finally unearths the dramatic and
heartbreaking truth of her mother's life. Combining a
passionate, doomed love story, a vivid evocation of life
during the war, and a poignant mother/daughter drama,
Those Who Save Us is a profound exploration of what
we endure to survive and the legacy of shame.
