I have read a number of WWII/Holocaust books, but I’ve never read a story like this. I was invested from the start and caught myself laughing, crying, praying, and holding my breath with the characters until the very end. This unbelievable true story should be read by anyone who values family, strength, perseverance, and determination. I never thought a book on the holocaust would make me so happy and filled with hope, but here we are. The authors family was truly lucky.
