The Girl Who Told the Truth (by Catherine Hokin)

I love reading WWII historical fiction books. And just when I think I have read about every aspect of that time period, I discover something new. Experiencing the Nuremberg Trials was eye opening for me. To read how those on trial did not accept any blame or claimed that things were exaggerated. Their nonchalance at the atrocities they inflicted on millions of people just left me aghast. The two primary characters, Anna and Margarete come alive on the pages. Anna was a brave and intelligence young woman. Her tenacity and dedication to fight against fascism ... even when her own father was part of that group ... was admirable. And then you have Margarete. She was evil personified. She was manipulative and took advantage of her “feminine wiles” to abuse others and force her agenda. The tension in the book can be felt as you delve into the story and the lives of Anna and Margarete.
