I am reviewing a copy of The Unwanted through Level Best Books and Netgalley:
Hana Ziegler is a fourteen-year-old child prodigy who is being taken to the Hollenschloss Institute to be euthanized on September 1, 1939, as Hitler invades Poland and World War II begins.
Silke Hartenstein is a sixteen-year-old beauty who has graced the covers of German magazines as the blonde, blue-eyed female Aryan prototype. Silke is a member of the Bund Deutsch Madel, but she has also laughed in the face of German Propaganda Minister Goebbels.
May of 1947, murder is committed. The victims are an American who is helping former Nazis escape judgment and a fleeing German SS officer. While other Nazi leaders are being prosecuted, the eyes of the American military judicial system fall on Hana.
For THE UNWANTED, Fatherland, Motherland, Holy Land ultimately mean nothing. For ‘Hana the unwanted’ and ‘Silke the noble’, the only true homeland is family.
I give the Unwanted five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
