Memories of a Girl Who Survived Brutal War in Hitler's Capital.
Lamb of Legacy: A Child's Survival in Hitler's Berlinis the beautifully honest and haunting true story of Edeltraud Fellendorf's childhood in Silesia and adolescent years in Berlin, Germany, where she was raised in the shadow of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich, the madness of World War 2, and the years that followed. She survives today through the grace of God, and is determined to finally share her story before everything is forgotten—before the past is buried and no one remembers the ugliness of a world at war and what it means to be a German girl, a sacrificial Lamb that innocently carried on Hitler's Legacy.
