"An enthralling story of one family's extraordinary courage and resistance amidst the horrors of war from the New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Rooms. As war swept across Europe in 1940, the idyllic life of Fey von Hassell seemed a world away from the conflict. The daughter of Ulrich von Hassell, Hitler's Ambassador to Italy, her marriage to Italian aristocrat Detalmo Pirzio-Biroli brought with it a castle and an estate in the north of Italy. Beautiful and privileged, Fey and her two young sons lead a tranquil life undisturbed by the trauma and privations of war. But with Fascism approaching its zenith, Fey's peaceful existence is threatened when Ulrich and Detalmo take the brave and difficult decision to resist the Nazis. When German soldiers pour over the Italian border, Fey is suddenly marooned in the Nazi-occupied north and unable to communicate with her husband, who has joined the underground anti-Fascist movement in Rome. Before long, SS soldiers have taken up occupancy in the castle. As Fey struggles to maintain an air of warm welcome to her unwanted guests, the clandestine activities of both her father and husband become increasingly brazen and openly rebellious. Darkness descends when Ulrich's foiled plot to kill the Fuhrer brings the Gestapo to Fey's doorstep. It would be months before Detalmo learns that his wife had been arrested and his two young boys seized by the SS."--… (mais)

This book was absolutely gripping. The story of Fey Pirzio-Biroli is completely captivating. The daughter of a German diplomat and the wife of an Italian aristocrat and member of the Resistance, Fey had a front row seat to the disastrous regimes of both Hitler and Mussolini. After her father was implicated in trying to assassinate Hitler, Fey and her two young sons were arrested, then separated. Her husband, working with the Resistance movement, was away at the time. Later, Fey and her sons were separated, and Fey was sent away to be used as a political prisoner and a bargaining chip. Eventually, she was interned at notorious concentration camps.

The story pulls you in right away, and in fact reads like a novel. Very, very highly recommended for WWII enthusiasts, lovers of a good story, and anyone just looking for a fantastic read. ( )

Nachdem das Attentat von Stauffenberg gegen Hitler fehlschlagen ist, ändert sich das Leben von Fey von Hassell dramatisch. Ihre zwei und vier Jahre alten Söhne werden von der SS entführt und in einem Waisenhaus in Wiesenhof untergebracht. Während die am Attentat beteiligen Personen zum Tode verurteilt werden, werden ihre Angehörigen festgenommen und kommen ins KZ. Auch Fey gehört dazu, da ihr Vater Ulrich von Hassell an dem Attentat beteiligt war. Sie wird am Ende des Krieges befreit. Doch was ist aus ihren Kindern geworden?
Catherine Bailey erzählt eine bewegende und dramatische Geschichte, aber sie tut es auf eine sachliche und etwas trockene Art, so dass ich immer ein wenig distanziert blieb. Aber vielleicht ist es nur so möglich, das Schreckliche auszuhalten. Es ist eine Geschichte, die auf Tatsachen beruht. Mit der Unterstützung von Fey von Hassells Familie konnte die Autorin anhand von Dokumenten diese Geschichte aufschreiben.
Fey von Hassells Vater ist Diplomat. Sie ist verheiratet mit dem italienischen Adlige Detalmo Pirzio-Biroli und lebt in der Nähe von Venedig. Ihr Mann ist im italienischen Widerstand. Nach dem missglückten Attentat ändert sich Ihr Leben drastisch. Ihre Söhne Corrado und Roberto werden nach der Entführung ins Waisenhaus gebracht und sie erhalten neue Identitäten. Sie sollen auf Befehl von Himmler später von linientreuen Familien adoptiert werden. So ging es vielen Kindern und ihren Familien.
Es ist menschenverachtend, wie die Nazis die Menschen für ihre Zwecke missbrauchten haben. Nach Belieben haben sie Familien auseinandergerissen. Je mehr der Untergang des Reiches zu erkennen war, umso verzweifelter und furchtbarer wurden die Aktionen des Regimes. Bewundernswert ist es, dass es Menschen gab, die diesem Wahnsinn ein Ende setzen wollten, ungeachtet der Risiken, die das für sie und ihre Familien mit sich brachten.
Dieses Buch ist ein erschütterndes Zeitzeugnis über eine dunkle, furchtbare Epoche. Empfehlenswert, wenn auch nicht leicht zu lesen. ( )
