Lida believed she had nothing to worry about from the Nazis. In Ukraine, the fear was for the Soviets. When the Nazis come to her town, people celebrate. Then she is taken, taken to a work camp to work. First, she uses her sewing skills, and then she is sent to work on making bombs. Lida struggles to survive in a work camp, little better than a concentration camp, where any wrong move could lead to her death and the death of everyone in the place. Once you get to Lida making bombs, the story picks up. However, it takes the author over one hundred pages before she talks about Lida making bombs. As a history nerd, I enjoy learning about something new that I had not heard before. However, if you are going to give your book the title, "Making Bombs for Hitler," I would think you want to get to that part sooner. The book is still worth reading. Just be prepared to wait for the actual bomb making.
