Novelist Jennifer Coburn will be hosting an engaging event in Oyster Bay, where she will discuss and sign her new historical novel, "Cradles of the Reich". This thought-provoking novel delves into the little-known Lebensborn project, a Nazi breeding program aimed at creating a so-called master race. Jennifer Coburn's meticulous research and empathetic storytelling shed light on the lives of three women at the Heim Hochland maternity home in Bavaria. Gundi, a pregnant university student and member of a resistance group, finds herself intertwined with Hilde, an enthusiastic believer in the Nazi cause, and Irma, a 44-year-old nurse seeking solace after personal tragedy. Despite their contrasting convictions, these women navigate the terrifying depths of Hitler's plan to build a Nazi-Aryan nation. Cradles of the Reich serves as a cautionary tale for modern times, emphasizing the strength of women working together in the face of oppression. The event will take place at Theodore's Books on November 9th at 7:00 PM. Admission is free, but registration is required. Copies of "Cradles of the Reich" will be available for purchase at the event. Join Jennifer Coburn as she sheds light on this little-known Nazi atrocity and reminds us of the power of solidarity.
