Nazi-occupied Vienna, 1940: A young nurse finds herself with the chance to save innocent children. An unmissable and heartbreaking story—based on devastating real events—about tragedy, hope, and courage in the face of impossible odds.
“These children, who the Nazis don’t even see as human, these children are innocent. And, Hannah, if you have the chance to save even one of them, you know what you have to do. Even if it puts your own life at risk.”
As bombs fall over Europe, Hannah Stern is a 27-year-old nurse who is just trying to survive. When she takes a position at Vienna’s esteemed psychiatric hospital, Am Steinhof, she thinks it will take her away from the danger.
Her estranged half-brother has arranged the job for her on the condition that she must take his son, Willi, there too. He insists it’s a place where Willi will be safe. And Hannah soon forms a close bond with the sweet, fragile child in her care.
At first the hospital seems like a safe haven—a beautiful, airy, spacious place of healing and recovery. But the hospital is a place of secrets. And they are darker than Hannah could ever have imagined. Children, ones just like Willi, are disappearing—not to be healed as promised, but taken somewhere else. Somewhere terrible.
And when Willi’s own life comes under threat—in spite of her half brother’s position of power in the Nazi military—Hannah must overcome her own fears and act. Then she discovers one of the other nurses is also trying to help patients escape, and Hannah becomes determined to help in any way she can.
But she is only one person up against the enemy. And to save even just one life from the grip of the Nazis, she must risk her own....
The most unmissable historical fiction of the year, guaranteed to leave listeners in tears. Perfect for fans of My Name is Eva, All the Light We Cannot See, and The Tattooist of Auschwitz.

It's not just a thousand miles that separates Hanna Majewski from her younger sister, Stefa. There is another gulf—between the traditional Jewish ways that Hanna chose to leave behind in Warsaw, and her new, independent life in London. But as autumn of 1940 draws near, Germany begins a savage aerial bombing campaign in England, killing and displacing tens of thousands. Hanna, who narrowly escapes death, is recruited as a spy in an undercover operation that sends her back to her war-torn homeland.

As the war begins, Hanna Rombauer, a young German woman, is sent to live with her aunt and uncle after her mother’s death. Thrown into a life of luxury she never expected, Hanna soon finds herself unwillingly matched with an SS officer twenty years her senior. The independence that her mother lovingly fostered in her is considered highly inappropriate as the future wife of an up-and-coming officer and she is sent to a “bride school.” There, in a posh villa on the outskirts of town, Hanna is taught how to be a “proper” German wife.

Brought to the peace conference by her father, a German diplomat, Margot Rosenthal initially resents being trapped in the congested French capital, where she is still looked upon as the enemy. But as she contemplates returning to Berlin and a life with Stefan, the wounded fiancé she hardly knows anymore, she decides that being in Paris is not so bad after all. Bored and torn between duty and the desire to be free, Margot strikes up unlikely alliances: with Krysia, an accomplished musician with radical acquaintances and a secret to protect; and with Georg, the handsome, damaged naval officer who gives Margot a job.

I just finished this book and I sit here stunned
So much I did not know about the children who today would be classified as ‘special needs’. My favorite genre is historical fiction and this fit it 100%. Such brave kind nurses I meet while some were cruel and vicious and found pleasure in tormenting helpless children . All praise to the Lord for the Allie’s winning the war and this is really something to think about too

Austrian Resistance
I hadn't yet read anything about the Austrian resistance in WWII, but now I have; about Heinrich Maier, and his many contributions to that resistance. It helped that I looked him up quickly when his name was first mentioned. Knowing his fate added gravitas to the risks the nurses were taking.
Also note in the epilogue the narrator made no indication that we we returning to a point earlier in time. It was just a bit awkward, no big deal, but a bit confusing. At about 7 min 45 sec remaining. It's a serious book that the narrator made palatable by her excellent narration. I will look for both the author and the narrator again.

Angel of Vienna
This book was different than most of the WWII books I have read. We hear so much about the camps in Poland, Germany etc. This book showed another part of the war. I truly enjoyed this book!

Painful truth
There are so many stories that have come out of the horror that was World War Two. This one broke my heart! If you really want to know what happened to the precious children even though they were not Jews, this book will tell You the sad horrible truth. I'm glad I had a chance to hear the stories of these dear children.

Couldn’t finish…
Didn’t really care about the characters or ending. Very repetitive. The story moved much too slowly. I wasn’t as enthralled with the story as with other books in this genre I have read.
