With all my holocaust reading, I had never come across the stories about Hitler's plans to decimate Czechoslovakia and send all the blonde, blue-eyed children to re-identification camps where they would be turned into good Germans!
This story, though fiction, is based on facts - and the facts are pretty amazing. Children taken from parents and literally turned into someone else - and then adopted by good German families - who vowed to raise them to help perpetuate the "master race."It's a chilling concept. The story is for adolescents - it is written in a simple, straightforward way - but I enjoyed reading it. The story line alone was compelling; other aspects of the story were secondary.
Undoubtedly there are as many stories out there as there are individuals to tell them.
