               The Taster  -  V.S.Alexander

                         Historical Fiction 

                 2018 A to Z Challenge - "T"   

Wow,  I have read many books about the WWII, the Holocaust, and the horrors of Hitler but I have not read one from the viewpoint of someone like Magda. 

Magda is forced into a job of being a taster for Hitler.  He was so paranoid about being poisoned that he hired young women to taste all of his food as it was being prepared.  Magda wonders if each                                                            meal she eats will be her last.

This is a haunting and gut-wrenching story of how Magda must live and act one way to insure her safety while keeping her thoughts and feelings to herself.  What a very dangerous time!!!

I will keep reading books like this so that this time in history and the many, many people who lost their lives and the sacrifices that were made,  will never be forgotten!!
