A review by chelz286
Auschwitz Syndrome by Ellie Midwood

4.0

This book was SO good! A former Nazi guard, Franz Dahler has a court date for the Denazification Court and his main witness is his wife, Helena. Helena used to be a his prison at Auschwitz working in the Kanada work area. Dr. Hoffman has been brought on to help answer the question of whether Helena is acting out of fear and Stockholm syndrome (not yet known at that time), or is this a bizarre true love story that happened during one of the worse times in history? Based on a true story, the author does an amazing job telling the story through the various characters. Her research really shows through on this novel. I look forward to her writing more historical fiction.
