#Auschwitz
review

Hard to type through my emotions. This is a middle grade nonfiction of Gerta and Rudi's heartwrenching escapes from Slovakia. Rudi's escape from Auschwitz resulted in FDR demanding Hungary to stop transports to the death camp. They may have saved a 1/3 of the JewishHungarians. Gerta and her mother crossed Hungary's and Slovakia's borders several times to keep ahead of imprisonment. When asked how to make sure it won't happen again, BE VIGILANT.

Eggs Oh my it sounds heartbreaking but very important 👏🏻 3d

I'm in the middle of two incredible books that are equally tearing me apart.

Promise Me Tomorrow needs to be added to the database. I'm reading it, thanks to LibraryThing.

This only had a 94% rating on Litsy, which reminds me of that one sportswriter who didn't vote Michael Jordan into the Basketball Hall of Fame. History books don't get much better than this.

The French-Jewish philosopher Raymond Aron would say, when asked about the Holocaust, "I knew, but I didn't believe it. And because I didn't believe it, I didn't know."

“We must be very, very certain of this,‘ Ana told them. ‘If we join the resistance, we may lose our lives.‘
‘And if we do not,‘ Bartek replied, ‘we may lose our souls.‘”
