You Are My Sunshine — Roberta Kagan

When Helga Haswell becomes pregnant by a married SS officer who abandons her, she finds herself desperate.  She is afraid to tell her parents that she is pregnant out of wedlock, so her doctor suggests that Helga check into Heinrich Himmler's home for the Lebensborn.  This is a program, he explains, that has been instituted by the Nazis to create perfect Aryan babies. Since Helga is of pure German blood and the child's father is an SS officer, she will be accepted, the doctor assures her.  He promises that her child will have a good life because adoption of Lebensborn children is available only to Hitler's elite. Not only this but she will have the finest medical care during her pregnancy. Once the baby is born, the Lebensborn will assume all responsibility for the child, releasing Helga to liver her life without the burden of a fatherless offspring.In her desperation, all of this sounded perfect to Helga-that was before she felt life stirring in her womb. However by the time she felt life, it was already too late. She had already moved into Steinhoring, a home for the Lebensborn. The papers were signed. She could not escape. Hitler owned her unborn child.
 On a cold day in January, Helga's little girl came into the world. But instead of being sheltered by her mother's arms, she was torn away by the nurses at the home for the Lebensborn and thrust into a treacherous world where the very people sworn to protect her were not what they seemed. The little girl was growing up surrounded by some of the cruelest people on earth and subjected daily to the ideology of the Third Reich. But when Hitler became convinced that he was indestructible and went to war on two fronts dividing his army, Germany began to fall. The Nazis became fearful as America entered the war, joining Churchill against them in the west, while Stalin, a formidable enemy with the brutal Russian winters on his side, ripped them apart in the east. And so, the tables turned on the Third Reich. The cruel Nazis, who believed they could not be defeated, were about to swallow their pride and surrender at the feet of the allies. The superior race would prove to be inferior after all. Hitler's elite would run for cover, some would commit suicide, some would be tried in Nuremberg for crimes against humanity, while others would escape with their tails tucked between their legs and head for South America or other friendly ports. But God had other plans for Helga's daughter This child's life would take an unexpected but significant turn..
