After reading several glowing reviews I came away disappointed. I never really engaged with the story or its characters. For such a short story I expected something really powerful but there was too much analysis and I often felt bogged down. On the plus side it is an original look at the Holocaust from a different point of view and Hana is an interesting character. As she asks the judge during her trial 'What would you have done?'
