Gave it two stars because the audiobook narrator was great. This book did nothing for me. Maybe it's because I just finished All the Light We Cannot See, but while I can appreciate what this book was trying to do, the execution of its purpose was...not great. This is not a book for This Particular Moment in history. I'm not really interested in reading about people who committed atrocities but were Actually Good People, who just fell for Nazi propaganda. I'm not interested in that gray area right now, especially when the nuance isn't fleshed out very well.
