Description:

1948. The woman in Bonn's Johannes Hospital knows she has only a few days to live. On her deathbed, she lets scenes from her life flash before her eyes. Gussie Zinsser is 24 when she marries the 19-year-older widower Konrad Adenauer and becomes the stepmother of his three children. She gives birth to five children, but her firstborn dies after only four days. As the wife of the mayor of Cologne, she is a public figure and independently active in social and political causes. Hitler's rise to power changes everything. Adenauer has to hide from the Nazis. Left alone with her children, Gussie tries to cope with the difficult life in the Third Reich. Until the Gestapo presents her with an inhumane choice." -- various websites
