My Mother, the Nazi Midwife, and Me unearths a chilling story that time has almost buried - the systematic murder of 52 Jewish babies in a Displaced Persons' camp under the American military after the end of the war. Years after her mother's death, a startling encounter with a Nazi whistle-blower lures Gina Roitman of Montreal back to Passau, Germany, the place she was born and the town that Hitler once called home. After meeting with teenage Germans students who decry the Nazi stereotypes they must endure, Gina finally tracks down the now very old survivor who knows the truth about the Nazi midwife. This is a universal story about facing the past, made all the more compelling by a dramatic journey of discovery.—Anonymous
