New York Times Bestseller • Winner of the Ribalow Prize, awarded by Hadassah Magazine

An estranged mother and daughter reunite to confront their family’s role in World War II in this harrowing, unforgettable novel of family secrets, lost love, and inherited shame from New York Times bestselling author Jenna Blum.

For fifty years, Anna Schlemmer 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. Trudys sole evidence of the past is an old photograph: a family portrait showing Anna, Trudy, and a Nazi officer, the Obersturmfuhrer of Buchenwald. 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 mothers life.

Combining a passionate, doomed love story, a vivid evocation of life during the war, and a poignant mother-daughter drama, Jenna Blum’s Those Who Save Us is a profound and unforgettable work of Holocaust fiction that explores what we endure to survive.
