Book Preview:

#1 In December 1939, an 11-year-old German boy named Paul von Mende was evacuated from Berlin to Norway with his mother. They waited for a message from his father, who was part of a department that had no official name or organizational structure.

#2 The boy was a spy, in the language of espionage. He visited a woman’s apartment and talked about the books he was given there. She helped him with his coat and slip a piece of paper into his knapsack.

#3 On July 29, 1932, Mildred exits the U-Bahn station and heads north on Friedrichstrasse, a leather satchel in her hand. She is on her way to the University of Berlin, where she lectures twice a week. She can’t believe she will not be invited back to teach in the fall.

#4 The Nazi Party was the official name of the party, but Mildred wrote to her mother that it was called the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, or NSDAP. It was a lie, as the party had nothing to do with socialism or the Ku Klux Klan.
