The memoirs--from diaries, letters, and personal recollections--of a young aristocratic German woman, from her childhood and student days, to the years in Italy as the daughter of the German ambassador, her courtship and marriage, her internment after her father's execution in connection with the plot to kill Hitler, and finally her release and reuniting with her husband and children. With 16 pages of photographs. --Book News Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly As the daughter of a German diplomat who plotted to kill Hitler, 25-year-old Fey, married to an Italian aristocrat, was arrested in 1944; her two children were taken from her by the SS. This thrilling story tells how she and other kin of the Fuhrer's enemies survived eight months in a succession of concentration camps, Dachau among them, until a last-minute rescue just before liberation (followed by the tale of the miraculous recovery of her children). Excerpts from letters and diaries, placed in historical context by Watt's (von Hassell's son-in-law) helpful editorial notes, convey with poignant immediacy this hair-raising experience.
