Prisoner of Night and Fog

In 'Prisoner of Night and Fog' by Anne Blankman, the story follows Gretchen Müller, a young girl living in 1930s Munich, who has been raised to revere her 'Uncle Dolf'—Adolf Hitler. As a member of the National Socialist Party, her father sacrificed his life to protect Hitler, and the Führer has taken a special interest in Gretchen's well-being. However, her life takes a dramatic turn when she meets a Jewish reporter named Daniel Cohen, who provides evidence that her father's death was not an act of heroism but a murder orchestrated by Hitler himself. As Gretchen and Daniel work together to uncover the truth, they develop a dangerous relationship that challenges Gretchen's loyalty to her family and the beliefs she has embraced. The novel is a blend of historical fiction and thriller, exploring themes of indoctrination, the rise of the Nazi Party, and the power of truth and love to challenge even the most deeply held convictions.
