It is 1931. Adolf Hitler is less than two years away from becoming the dictator of Germany. But nothing is certain. He is walking a political tightrope. He is maneuvering to court the German upper class, while trying not to disavow the violence of his Stormtroopers. Then, in September of that year, his niece, twenty-two-year-old Geli Raubal, is found dead of a gunshot wound to the chest in her locked bedroom in Hitler's flat. Is it suicide, as Hitler claims, or is it something more sinister?
For the unwanted, Fatherland, Motherland, Holy Land ultimately mean nothing. The only true homeland is family.
Hana Ziegler is a fourteen-year-old child prodigy. But on September 1, 1939, as Hitler invades Poland and World War II begins, she is being taken to the Hollenschloss Institute to be euthanized.
