A romantic fairy tale was being spun in Europe before and during WWII. Only honey blondes or young women with Aryan coloring were hearing this enchanting tale told by the SS and Gestapo. Shush! It was a secret, able to be proven, but still few people heard the tale then or now.
It was told in the time of war and economic stress which made it so alluring. The story was about luxurious places in remote and sequestered hotels, ski lodges and palatial villas which had been restructured and furnished elaborately.
The food was plentiful, all you could want. You'd feel safe, away from the war, tucked behind an ornate, curving and beautiful driveway leading to a beautiful building behind guarded wrought-iron fences. All you had to agree to do was to have a baby for Hitler's Master Race.
The Lebensborn program has become a novel. It is the tale of a courageous French girl in the Resistance who is sent to one of these homes by the SS officer who commandeers her home, her village, and her innocence. It has received a gold medal for action fiction.

"Loved it- could not put it down. Would love to read more on the topic. Based on a real program during WW2. Read it! :)" — Sam (5 out of 5 stars)

" I very much liked the concept since I had no knowledge of the Nazi 'breeding' program which really existed. Some parts I found a little too fictional. 90% of it was very well written and was believable. Not knowing all the facts the most fictional part could have been entirely real. "
" Awful. The worst WWII book I have attempted to read, fiction or non-fiction. Just terrible writing. I had to put it down, and I always finish books. To learn more about the Lebensborn program, read My Enemy's Cradle. "
" Love the topic and the concept, it's a topic that very few books write about, but this book hardly held my interest. "
