adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring sad tense medium-paced

5.0

This was a well-written graphic creative nonfiction memoir and a reasonably quick read. The material comes straight from a very dark history of the Holocaust. 

While the history is heartbreaking and the material is incredibly dark, this was a book I enjoyed. It’s quite the oxymoron, but I can’t explain it.
