"This book needs to join the ranks of the classic survivor stories of WWII such as "Diary of Anne Frank" and "Man's Search for Meaning". It is truly that amazing!" InD'tale Magazine
"fast-paced and emotively worded and features a great selection of characters, flawed and poignantly three-dimensional." Historical Novel Society
"...eye-opening and heartbreaking..." San Francisco Review of Books
"I would heartily recommend this book as an engrossing and well-researched story with two of the most engaging protagonists I've read for a while." Jessica Brown for Discovering Diamonds - Independent Reviews of the Best in Historical Fiction
"I for one am glad she shared her story with us as it gives us a look at a different perspective from those who endured this tragic time in history. "Surviving the Fatherland" by Annette Oppenlander is highly recommended reading!" Carol Hoyer for Reader Views
"...simply beautiful." Readers' Favorite Book Award
