THOSE WHO SAVE US by Jenna BlumFor fifty years, Anna Schlemmer has refused to talk about her life in Germany during World War II. Her daughter, Trudy, was only three when she and her mother were liberated by an American soldier and went to live with him in Minnesota. Driven by the guilt of her heritage, Trudy, now a professor of German history, begins investigating the past and finally unearths the dramatic and heartbreaking truth of her mother's life. Those Who Save Us is a profound exploration of what we endure to survive and the legacy of shame.For more information and a link to the Zoom meeting, please contact Janet Robertson: jrobertson@locustvalleylibrary.orgJoin Zoom for free at: http://zoom.us/freesignup/
