Through the years, she secretly recorded her mother's extraordinary stories, fully intent on writing a WW2 historical fiction novel based on a true story, even taking several trips with her to Germany to walk the cobblestone streets where recollections were shared in their actual settings. In-depth research combined with her mother's vivid memories allowed the author to weave Waltraud's story into an eye-opening and compelling narrative that captures everyday life during the rise and fall of the Third Reich, making it both historically accurate and deeply moving.\u003c\/i\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 398\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.89 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 11, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52033615331629,"sku":"9798392221783","price":22.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/O_ibpLW65O9798392221783.webp?v=1777618033","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/waltraud-a-true-story-of-growing-up-in-nazi-germany-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
