In 1935, the Nazis established a program called 2The Lebensborn.3 Their agenda, to genetically engineer perfect Aryan children. These children were to be the new master race, once HItler had cleared all undesirable elements out of Europe. Within a year the first institution was built. The year is 1943.... The forests of Munich are crawling with danger under the rule of "The Third Reich," but in order to save the life of her unborn child Petra Jorgenson must escape from the Lebensborn Institute. Alone, seven months pregnant, and penniless avoiding the watchful eyes of the armed guards in the overhead tower, she waits until the dead of night. Then, Petra climbs under the flesh shredding barbed wire that surrounds the institute and at the risk of being captured and murdered she runs headlong into the terriying desolate woods. Even during one of the darkest periods in the history of mankind, when horrific acts of cruelty became commonplace and Germany seemed to have gone crazy following the direction of a madman, unexpected heros came to light. And although there were those who would try to destroy it, true love would prevail. Here, in this lost land ruled by human monsters, Petra will learn that even when one faces what appears to be the end of the world if one looks hard enough one will find that there is always "A Flicker Of Light."… (más)

Another book where the cover does not really match the content. The Aryan breeding place is a very small and not desperately important part at the beginning. Not a bad read or a good one. ( )

A Flicker of Light by Roberta Kagan

Set in 1943 Germany one young woman named Petra decides to join the Lebensborn project. Hitlers camp for women to form the "perfect race" of blond hair blue eyed children. When the unexpected happens and Petra realizes what Lebensborn is all about she escapes to save her unborn baby. She finds an unlikely place to stay and raise her child while a brutal war is going on around her.

A true to life heart-felt story of a courageous woman and her fight attempt to live a normal life with horrid events going on around her. Told with emotions and details of some truly horrifying and awful events that happened under the reign of Adolf Hitler. This is not just a story of war, it is a story of family bonding, heart-ache and ultimate love. I recommend A Flicker of Light to those who love stories of war & love. ( )
