Publisher's Synopsis
In November 1942, Hertha, a young part-Jewish woman working as a secretary under the protection of SS-Gruppenführer Karl-Hermann Frank, was denounced and collected by the Prague Gestapo. She was interrogated and then thrown into Theresienstadt Ghetto, while her quarter-Jewish daughter Anna, remained protected by the Frank family at the wish of her mother.
On that same fateful day, her daughter Anna - now a second-generation Holocaust Survivor, found her mother's diaries, among other precious mementos, when she later returned home with Gruppenführer Frank to collect some belongings. She was no stranger to an SS family, having lost her father SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich only months before in June. Paying homage to her parents, Anna shares a condensed version of her mother's diaries of living before and during the Holocaust as a Jew-in-exile, while sharing her own memories of her parents how she remembers them to be. She is the 'forgotten daughter of Heydrich' and has remained that way ever since. This hidden diary from the Holocaust is one not to be missed, as it is one of the greatest love stories that not even Hitler or the SS could break. **proceeds from this novel will be donated to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum to continue the education of the Holocaust**
