Anna Schlemmer has been silent about her experiences during World War II in Germany for fifty years. When Trudy was only three years old, her mother and she were freed by an American soldier, and they moved to live with him in Minnesota. An ancient family picture including Anna, Trudy, and the Obersturmfuhrer of Buchenwald, a Nazi official, is Trudy's only relic from the past.
Motivated by her ancestral guilt, Trudy—a German history professor today—begins her historical research and ultimately discovers the shocking and dramatic reality of her mother's life.
A deep examination of what it takes to live and the legacy of guilt, Those Who Save Us combines a passionate, doomed love story, a realistic portrayal of life during the war, and a moving mother/daughter drama.
