When I saw this publisher took this book out of the shadows, I was near tears. Many years ago a holocaust survivor gave me this book. I had wanted to gift it so many times but it was increasingly difficult to find. To me, it is the most telling and searing story about what happened in Nazi Germany, and the increasing and manipulative horror that destroyed so many. I don't want to leave any spoilers. It is a short and quick read, but one of the most powerful books about anti-semitism, hatred, and the rise of a cruel power and how the reality and horror of its existence strikes you., a reality that so many people refused to take responsibility for. It is timeless, and brings to the forefront what is once again happening in the world today. It is my all time favorite book about the holocaust and a must read for everyone. Thank you to this publisher and NetGalley for the honor to once again read this amazing little novel, that is huge in heart and sadness, and a lesson on how we should respect the human race, keep our eyes open wide and protect the ones we care about.
