She was the daughter of a prominent Nazi the Third Reich s minister of health who was also an SS lieutenant general and yet she never heard any outward expressions of her parents virulently anti-Semitic beliefs. She grew up dependent on her father s consistent warmth and attention, the man she would cherish above all others, the sun in my life. She grew up protected, her country s darkest, most obscene moments hidden behind a veil of normalcy. A schoolgirl at the end of World War II when Berlin was virtually leveled by the Russian Army s onslaught, she fled the city on one of the last trains out only to suffer a terrible injury in Munich, facing near-starvation in the war s aftermath. And through her own quest for a normal life, in which she would create herself anew in a new country, she found that she must both face and lay to rest an awful secret that followed her into her adult life. Her memoir is the unusual story of a woman both regaining her own history and at once coming to terms with it.
