An interesting and different take on the typical Holocaust story with an inside look into the German side of a Kommandant and his office and life. A Jewish woman is mistaken and the Kommandant takes her into his home as his secretary and through her influence he finds compassion for the people he has been taught to persecute.
From the beginning this book read quickly and I had the hardest time putting it down because I wanted to just know what was going to happen next between the Kommandant, his secretary and the Jewish people in the camp. Although a hefty book in pages, I didn't even realize how long it was until the very end! The twists and turns were throughout and nothing was too far out that felt weird or awkward. I may admit to a few tears at the end!
