Published: 2021 Inge is the daughter of a doctor at a concentration camp in Germany. Her impression of the camps is that they exist to help make people into better German citizens--she has not witnessed their true nature. When Hitler kills himself and Germany surrenders, she runs to the camp to find her father in the chaos and finds that he has escaped, but then she sees what he really did at the camp and she is horrified. Eva arrives to America from Berlin. She has a deep, dark secret. She made a deal with someone in order to get to America, and she is trying to figure out how she can get out of this deal in order to achieve what she really came to there to do. Bluebird is a fantastic historical fiction novel with some great mysterious aspects. I could not put this book down! I loved learning more about this history.
