“Bestselling author, Jana Petken, presents a riveting story of courage and survival in the face of evil. A stunning portrayal of one of the most atrocious events of the Second World War, The Rabbits of Ravensbrück, is a serious and accomplished piece of work..”
…C.M. Gray, author of One More Hour of Daylight

The International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg is over, but the Doctors’ Trial is just beginning. Twenty German doctors and three SS officials have been indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Three defendants must face the prosecution’s star witness, a survivor of their mutilations.

Malina Dostler, a German Romani woman, is not only an eyewitness to murder and maiming by German doctors in Ravensbrück Concentration Camp, but she is also a victim of some of the most inhumane experimental medical procedures ever conducted by the Nazi regime.

Josh Steinbock, an American army captain, is tasked with preparing Malina for the witness box, but as the story of her imprisonment in Auschwitz and Ravensbrück unfolds, his feelings for her begin to blind his judgement. Malina is hiding something, but can Josh find out what it is before she takes to the witness box?

Christian Bloss, an ex-SS-Sturmbannführer and defendant in the Doctors’ Trial, is a man cloaked in many layers. Josh believes Bloss and Malina share a secret, but how deep does their relationship go?

Drawing on the true story of the Doctors’ Trial, the first of twelve post-war American Military Tribunals in Nuremberg, Jana Petken presents a riveting tale of courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable evil.
