Lives Reclaimed by Mark Roseman is a historical novel that is about a group of idealists in Germany ( called the “Bund” in short) that was founded in the 1920s at first as a “society” that gave themselves certain expectations and goals on how to live their lives and how to treat the world surrounding them and others.
After the onset of Nazi Germany and WWII, their plan took a different angle and the group helped play a part in adding back a bit of actual humanity to the atrocities that were occurring to their fellow men and women.

The author presents a fabulous background in setting up how the group was created and how it evolved into what we know of it now. The amount of research that went into this novel is impressive and astounding.

This is just one example of how the flame continued to burn despite the Nazi’s goal of trying to extinguish the hope that continued to survive in the hearts of humans inside the front lines.

A very informative and fabulous read.

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced read and in return this is my honest and unbiased review.
