Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Heim Hochland, Bavaria, 1944. In the first Nazi maternity ward, rumors of war barely reach; everything is done to offer newborns of the SS order and their “pure blood” mothers a harmonious environment. Young Renée, a French woman abandoned by her family after falling in love with a German soldier, finds refuge there while awaiting an unwanted birth. Helga, a model nurse responsible for looking after pregnant women and infants, sees residents with sometimes tragic fates pass by and children evicted when they do not meet the required criteria: faced with this cruelty, her certainties sometimes waver. As the Allies draw closer, the well-regulated organization of the Lebensborn homes goes haywire, and the shelter becomes a trap. What will become of them when American soldiers get to them? And what choice will they have left? Reconstructing this disturbing gynoecium in its historical reality, this novel offers an immersion in one of the Lebensborn patronized by Himmler, aiming to develop the Aryan race and produce future warlords. A gripping dive into Nazi Germany seen from a women's point of view.
