The style is simple and direct. More than a play of words or expression, it is the stark , undiluted truth about the atrocities and loss of all that is human that hits you in the gut.The second world war - a people hounded out of the securities of a normal life for no fault of their own. And amidst it all, the amazing courage and compassion of one woman who survives it all. Read and remember, so this may never be repeated any place, any time. It's amazing to me that someone could have that much strength to be able to so much for a child...not yours, but one that you care for as if he were. They were lucky...luckier than most. What got to me the most about this book, is that we know a lot about what happened to the Jews during the war. We don't hear much about the hardships that they still had to go through after the war was over. Strength and determination....that's what I got out of this book.
This is a wonderful book. A very good read and it is always inspiring to read true stories.
