pickThis is one of the many novels written about the remarkable people that lived in WW2. Janusz Korczak loved children. He lived for them, and died in Treblinka trying to save them. One thing I liked about this book is that the author did not shy away from the horror that the holocaust was. Based on real events in the Warsaw Ghetto. Recommend.
Currently.

The husband fell asleep reading with Aine. I‘m so happy to see him reading books with me again!
I loved reading about the story of a real life hero whose journals were found and used as the basis of the book.
It made me wonder how will future generations know the stories of current people. Will they paste together info from FB, IG and TikTok‘s?
Or will their actions be lost to time?

Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.
pickMy #BookSpin for May - it was great! An amazing look into a dark time in world's history, so many heartbreaking events seen through the eyes of a little Jewish girl, one of the only 12 children that survived the Lodz ghetto in Poland. Definite pick!
Found it in a little free library a few months ago, I wanted to read it since and @TheAromaOfBooks made it possible this month: Thank you again and again!
