I could barely breathe through the majority of this book. What a beautiful family and story of survival.

Reading about Nazi Germany during America's descent into fascism is so painful I am giving up now that a different book has arrived from library. It was very well-written and the characters and their experiences give a heartrending glimpse into the full spectrum of the Holocaust. Please read it if only to remind yourself how much we have to lose if we don't speak and act against #45 and his demagoguery.

Good story 3.5 stars. I didn’t get into the characters as much as I did in other historical fiction novels I have read lately. Still recommend.

Beautiful, heart wrenching story. So well written. Could not put this down.

Loved this book!!! Was so moving at the end to learn it is a true story!

Very good story but so slow! This took me forever to read because I just couldn’t read very much at a time. It was hard to keep the family members straight, especially Anna and Halina. I can’t believe this was a true story =(
