The T4 program, Lebensborn, Operation Reinhardt, and a murder mystery! Oh and the Kennedy family is there too! An action packed thriller you won’t want to put down.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I was hooked to this story by the first page.
It is a story that needs to be told and give as it gives awareness to what happened to the mentally and physically ill (which I am both) during WWII. It is truly heart wrenching, but there are the brave like Silke who gives hope for humanity.
