Books like Die Verräterin by Gudrun Pausewang


During the closing months of World War II, a German teen named Anna makes a terrible discovery. An escaped Russian prisoner of war is hiding in her family’s barn. If she turns the man in, he’ll be shot. Anna can’t bring herself to cause another person’s death—especially when she’s already questioning the Nazi regime. Instead, she hides the prisoner, making herself a traitor to the Third Reich. As the tension builds, Anna must evade discovery, knowing that even her own brother will turn her in if he finds out her secret. A stunning conclusion drives home the horror of war and the consequences of Anna’s decision.
