Sara Young's My Enemy's Cradle
OK, this one requires some serious suspension of disbelief, and that's not even for the major plot points, which are as follows: a half-Jewish girl living in Holland at the start of WWII with her non-Jewish relatives ends up taking her cousin's place at a Lebensborn (one of those Nazi homes for unwed mothers impregnated by German soldiers, though the protagonist's baby's father is Jewish). Actually it's a totally riveting novel if you're willing to get into it and not be all nitpicky (I am the nitpicky type, but I was engaged anyway). The author clearly did some research on the Lebensborn movement and the offhand descriptions of the home are pretty fascinating. B+.
