What you see on the front cover with all the swastika's during WW II in the Netherlands, that is how it was! Even the Dutch words like 'moffen' for Germans are correct and the author really did her home work in some cases. It is an interesting book but not the worst one I have read so far what the Nazi's did to people of the countries they occupied. Marijke knew that she would not survive in any camp and neither her husband Theo unless they found a 'profession' that was okay with the Nazi's. Theo was moved to certain different area's in different camps but always close to where Marijke - his wife- was. Marijke turned into a 'hoer' or prostitute. The ending could have been a lot better than what Ellen Keith gave it because she left you hanging with what happened to this married couple even though you find out the end of what happened to Karl, the SS officer. After the war ended, all the women who had worked for the nazi's, been hookers for them and collaborated with the Nazi's, were taken to the centre of the city/town they lived at and sat down on a chair while the Dutch survivors were chanting at them 'Nazi hoeren'. The women's head would be shaved, tar would be put on top of their head and chicken feathers would be put on top of top. After that was done, they were given a sign to wear saying 'I helped the Nazi's or I was a hooker for them' - ' ik hielp de Nazi's en was een hoer or prostitute for de Nazi's' and paraded down for every one to see. It is a shame that Ellen Klein did not put this in her book when she did the research for the real Dutch words like 'moffen', 'hoer'; and a lot of old Dutch people still address the German population as MOFFEN. I tried to figure out what Luciano was doing in the book but it may had to do with the dislike of the Nazi's of any race except their own and the torture what Luciano went true is still happening in South American countries. This book is a good eye opener for people who have never read a book of what the Nazi's were capable of doing during WW II and hopefully after they have read this book, it will remind them to be alert at all times so that a repeat of WW II will never happen again!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read! *by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2020* The story begins in 1943 Amsterdam where Theo and Marijke de Graff are working with the Resistance to help save Jews when they are caught and sent to concentration camps. Marijke is sent to Ravensbruck where she does not like the living conditions. When Marijke is presented with an opportunity to be transferred to Buchenwald to work in a brothel, she accepts it knowing that this is where Theo was sent. Marijke meets SS Officer Karl Muller there and he falls in love with her. The story is told from the points of view of Marijke, Karl and Luciano Wagner who is imprisoned in Buenos Aires in 1977. All the loose ends of the story are tied up very nicely in the end. I thought this was a really good read and I enjoyed it although it was a little gruesome at times. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Historical fiction at it's finest! *by K***T on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2018* I had seen this book on the Kindle store for quite some time before I finally purchased it! It wasn't until I was scrolling through Facebook and happened to stumble upon a World War II Best Novels list that I read through that list and came across this book on there! After going through the list, I read the comments and a lot of people were talking about this book. I was convinced I needed to read this book and so I downloaded and started reading it right away; I was captivated from the first page! I found myself staying up later than I should each night to finish more pages, and during the day when I had down time I would open the book and start reading. I think the author did an amazing job at showing Kurt's evil side, but also his compassion side that he had for Marjike. The story was full of hope, heartbreak, plot twists and adventure that kept me turning each page in anticipation for the next. I would have loved to see what fate brought Theo and Marjike in the end when she gave birth to the baby and I would have loved to see where Marjike was in 1988 when the book ended.
