Joana is a kind and highly skilled nurse. She fled her home country of Lithuania with her family in 1941. Because her mother’s family has German roots, the Nazis allowed her to repatriate to Germany, and she went to work as a surgeon’s assistant in East Prussia. She does her very best to always help others, mainly with her skills in nursing. She also feels enormous guilt for leaving her family behind and probably leading to the death of her cousin and best friend, Lina.
