To Dream Of Shadows: A Gripping Holocaust Novel Inspired by a Heartbreaking True Story (World War II Historical Fiction Book 1) Kindle Edition
She’ll save hundreds of lives. But can she save her own?
Inspired by a previously untold true story.
1943, Eastern Europe. A kind-hearted 18-year-old, Inge is imprisoned in some godforsaken hellhole for the crime of simply existing. She used to dream of strawberry ice cream, of going dancing on a weekend, of one day traveling the world. Yet today, her every waking moment is consumed by beatings, starvation, and torturous labor.
A disillusioned SS sergeant, Heinz can’t help but question the Third Reich’s philosophy because of the dumbfounding incidents he’s witnessed. Now, he yearns to forsake his duty, to run away with his dog, to live a life to be proud of. But he can’t, leaving him trapped in a world choking on endless suffering, misery, and death.
So when the Jew and the Nazi meet, even though they exist on opposite sides of the deadly electrified fence, they each recognize a kindred spirit. An unlikely friendship develops. A friendship which sends waves of compassion rippling through the entire camp, saving lives, giving hope, easing suffering. For a fleeting moment, there is beauty in a world drenched in ugliness.
But then the moment is gone, and darkness returns. And Inge and Heinz must pay a terrible price for foolishly believing they could make a difference.
Yet it’s in this blackest of nights that the tiniest spark can cast the brightest light…
Inspired by a previously untold true story, To Dream Of Shadows is an epic tale of sacrifice, love, and the strength of the human spirit. And due to its extensive research, it is probably the most realistic portrayal of camp life that you'll ever read in a novel.
Discover one of the most heartwarming, heartbreaking, and heroic tales of the Holocaust.

Warning: the truth can be shocking.
To Dream of Shadows reveals elements of the Holocaust that most readers will never have encountered, no matter how much Holocaust fiction or non-fiction they have read.
The forms of abuse and punishments described in the story were not invented by the author but are based on documented evidence, i.e. these things really happened to real people in real camps.
Though these elements of the story are handled with sensitivity and restraint, it can be shocking to discover that such incidents took place.

About the author
> Heartwarming dog stories
> Gripping historical fiction
> Pulse-pounding thrillers
I’ve hand-fed a wild orangutan in a rainforest, explored exotic locations such as Machu Picchu, and sparred with a monk at a Shaolin temple. As you can tell, I love seeking out extraordinary adventures. So what more appropriate profession could I find than writing — creating wondrous worlds filled with fascinating characters?
I’ve been a full-time author since 2016 and write in multiple genres — you’ll find my books crammed with either adorable mutts who’ll melt your heart, justice-seeking antiheroes, or heartbreaking tales inspired by true stories from the Holocaust.
I pen my novels in the North of England, where I live with my Polish partner and two stray black cats who turned up in our garden one day and liked it so much they moved into the house.
So whether you love to curl up with heartwarming tales about lovable dogs, gritty, action-packed thrillers, or heart-wrenching stories from history’s darkest hour, I hope you’ll join me on my literary journey.
Happy reading,
Steve

This well-written book required a tremendous about of research; it shows on each and every page.
I admit there are some pretty grim pages of the atrocities inflicted on the women in the concentration camp. WWII was a very unsettling time and tough on people. Mr. Lee is a master at helping the reader make emotional contact with the main characters. As I said there is Inge AND there is the leader of the Camp, Rudi who is learning Jews are humans, not vermin.
This is an epic historical and fictional tale of compassion, sacrifice, and love, and the amazing spirit of endurance the human spirit contains.
Don't skip the author's comments at the end of the book. He provides knowledge about the people the story is based on and the difficulties he encountered.
This is a two-part series of books. I loved this one so much, I have pre-ordered the second one: A Song of Silence
I found this book meticulously researched, beautifully written, and a very compelling read.
sensitive to the time it was written about . I would recommend it to everyone .

Alongside this, there is Rudi, second in command of a concentration camp, and his faithful, obedient dog, Bruno. I found myself questioning, how could I like this man? when he is SS.
They come together when Inge - and other women - are marched on a harrowing journey to join this camp.
Knowing they can never openly be together, Rudi hatches a daring plan which has equal chances of success and failure.
Will they succeed? And have the life they deserve. Or is the plan too flawed? Rudi knows they won't be 'lucky' enough to have a straight forward execution if caught!
I thoroughly recommend you read their story.
