"Aurora" is the story of a young school teacher from rural Alabama
who ventured to New York where she fell in love with a romantic,
young gentleman from old German aristocracy. They marry, have two
children, and take a steamer to Germany. In Germany Aurora
discovers she is married to an agent engaged in espionage against
her country. After a difficult divorce, she gains custody of her
children and reestablishes herself within the employment of the
American Consulate in Hamburg. In 1941, when the Consulate expelled
all employees prior to the U.S. declaration of war against Germany,
Aurora leaves for Portugal via Frankfurt with her two children. In
route, she is confronted by Gestapo agents and her children are
abducted. She returns to Hamburg to fight for the return of her
children. With the assistance of a Nazi friend, she locates her
children and remains in Hamburg until July 1943 when her home was
totally destroyed by the fire storm that killed nearly 45,000
civilians and reduced most of the city to rubble. Aurora's memoir
recounts struggles to keep her children and survive the bombardment
during Operation Gomorrah.
