ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Those Who Save Us," by Jenna Blum, tells the story of Trudy, a professor researching German women during the Nazi era, and her mother, Anna, who lived through that time and carries many secrets. The novel explores the long-lasting impact of trauma and the difficulty of confronting the past. The narrative focuses on Anna's morally ambiguous choices made during World War II to protect herself and her daughter, Trudie. Trudy's "German Project" becomes a personal journey as she tries to understand her mother’s silence and the hidden truths of their family's history. The story examines how memory, silence, and the weight of history influence the lives of both mother and daughter.
