The information and description in the book was well portrayed and thoughtfully laid out. The Warsaw Ghetto has been written about a number of times, but there were things like the bath house event, the in-ghetto soup kitchen, and other things I had not previously read about. 

The book overall though, was really slow, and I felt a bit disconnected from it. It seemed more to revolve around events with the characters in the moment and then advance later to another event without any connection or bridge in between to show how the characters felt or grew or changed since. There just wasn’t much character development I felt like, so it was more like watching things happen from the outside rather than being invited to walk with the characters. 

I liked the information and how well it conveyed the atrocities of Warsaw under the Nazi’s, but it wasn’t one I felt invested in or connected to.
