In 1939-1945, Ophelia Mariè Baudelaire, a French ballerina studying at the Teatr Wielki, in Warsaw, is caught in the crossfire as the Nazis overrun Poland. Hoping to survive long enough for the nations to make amends, she aids away with the help of her teacher and flees to Berlin, with the intent to reach France. There she's hesitantly taken in by a retired German philosopher who passes her off as his granddaughter. However, residing in enemy land is proven difficult as she's forced to greet her invaders as they gather to witness the fall of France.
Will Ophelia manage to return to France and find her family or will she also crumble under the cruel circumstances of war?

Edelweiss
Was she lucky to go there...or sentenced to a bleak existence that would fade into history, forgotten like the decay of yesterday? Eva Abrams is thrown into the past to a time of violence and chaos- revealing the hidden ugliness of war, allowing her eyes to see things she never thought they would. But she is unable to escape mainland Europe before the invasion, and her greatest fear materializes when she witnesses the arrival of the German army in the town square. All she wants is to return home to her mundane life, but she doesn't know if that will ever happen now. She stumbles into an unexpected friendship with the person she should keep firmly at a distance, one that opens her mind to the understanding that people are not always as they seem-good or bad, which gives rise to the events that put everything else into motion. Her life takes a drastic turn when the Germans become suspicious, putting her in unimaginable danger and leaving the path in front of her treacherous and murky at best. Eva is now tangled in the grim realities imposed by war as the walls close in. She must choose between the life she knew and the past she now feels drawn to.Complete

Yours Truly, Ella
"Even if only evil is left in the world, a small shred of virtue must remain or the evil has no definition." When Elisabeth's life is completely unrecognizable compared to how it once was, she uses her diary as a coping mechanism. Managing her way through the persecution, how will she figure out a way to survive the war? This book is taken from the perspective of a young girl during the Shoah, also known as the Holocaust. This book is based on real events, but any similarities to a real person are merely a coincidence. The inspiration for this book was the many diaries kept by young children during a time their life was surrounded by war. Completed 4/28/2021 Editing began 5/24/2021Complete

The War She Painted| ✓
Set against the ravaged landscape of World War II Europe, The War She Painted follows Zora Lenz, a biracial German woman whose life unravels under the Nazi regime. Born in Berlin to a German painter and a French-Senegalese mother, Zora once lived a quiet, art-filled life with her husband Wilhelm Weiss and their young son, Lukas. But when Wilhelm joins the SS and renounces her to preserve his status, Zora is torn from her family, her son seized, and her identity erased. Branded as "impure," Zora is arrested and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp, where she endures forced labor, starvation, and dehumanization. There, she learns the language of survival, silence, endurance, and clings to fragments of hope. Her memories of Lukas keep her alive through nights of horror in the camp's brothel, where she becomes both prisoner and pawn in a machinery of cruelty designed to erase women like her. When she catches the attention of the Kommandant, a cold, enigmatic man who both despises and is fascinated by her, Zora's fate takes a twisted turn. He removes her from the camp, claiming to need her artistic skill, and brings her to his estate. What follows is a haunting, psychological entanglement, an uneasy coexistence between victim and captor, built on power, obsession, and a strange, reluctant empathy. As the war's end approaches and Germany begins to burn from within, Zora is drawn into a web of impossible choices between vengeance and forgiveness, love and freedom, captivity and escape.Complete

Polish SOE Agent, Natia Filipska, has lurked among the rubble and the shadows of her occupied-Warsaw for years, ever since the war started and ripped her from the life that had guaranteed happiness and opportunity. The SOE took her in, as well as her two siblings, Klimeck and Ryzshard, arming them with a fighting spirit, and a chance at survival, at a life where they could avenge the ones that were taken. Being apart of the Cichociemni came next, Elite Polish Paratroopers, and it was their ticket home. Ever since her feet had then touched the ground, she had been fighting with her home and her people - the Polish Home Army. The Warsaw Uprising got her captured, and then being on the run nearly got her killed - her only ally was the pistol at her side. The Dutch Resistance of Eindhoven, Holland housed her, but it would never be her home.
