I will have to look that up...not something that I've thought about before.

I guess somebody had to do it so they made one of their own do it. I want to read it but I don't want to read it. Still thinking about it.

Re: SUCH A SAD BUT TRUE STORY

I just got this book today from the library for my Kindle. I was quite surprised it came in so fast since it had a pretty long waiting list. 

 

I try to space out the holocaust books I read, as I get too upset reading them. It's rare that you'll find a happy ending, and even if something good happens, it's only relative to the pain and misery that was experienced.

This was a very good book. The people lived through unspeakable horrors everyday. But, it was nice that two survived and got married and were able to have time together after all they lived thru.

@sunala  I agree.  I find myself compelled to read holocaust books but can only take so many in a given amount of time.  It amazes me after so many years the new stories that keep coming out.

 

I know that this has been around for a while but DH and I just viewed "The Zookeeper's Wife" last night....another amazing story of those who risked losing everything to save others.

I just finished this book! Amazing story.... I was surprised how uplifting I found it even with the horrid subject. Super inspiring.

    @estaw2000 - It was horrifically sad but apparently it's based on a true story, which to me makes it that much worse. I did read it in record time but there were times I just wanted to shut the Kindle and move on. It was THAT painful.
