pickPart memoir, part history tracing the kids whose parents advertised their children to be taken in by British households in 1938. They originated in Vienna, and each of the stories told had such different paths throughout their lives. It‘s heartbreaking, but the biggest impact is thinking of the parents who knew that sending their children to complete strangers in a different country was the best decision they could make to keep them safe.
I read this passage today & felt how applicable it is to today. Especially with what is happening to so many immigrant families in the US right now. This was a letter written by a French priest in 1942 that was read to most of the churches in Toulouse. Currently, I still don‘t understand how people call themselves a Christian & have no qualms about what is happening to so many innocent people. #ranttime
pickJust above. Too many words to not need to edit it down.
This is my current read. My husband asked me if it‘s not too depressing to read. I replied that it‘s deeply sad, but what depresses me now is the current situation in my country (USA). I‘m reading this book as the history it is.
