Although a work of fiction, much of this could have really happened, and much of it did.  Richards based fiction on facts, more than it appears on the surface and the ending is a satisfying one.  There is much sadness in knowing how many perished in the Holocaust, but this story about a wealthy German Countess and how she saved Jewish children was wonderful.  The story is told by an American soldier who had met her only one time and fell in love with her.  It is through him that we see her.  It is hard to differentiate fact from fiction in this story.
