I love when a work of fiction helps me learn something new. This was my first time reading a book set during the Holocaust. I was unaware Greece had been invaded by Nazis. Thousands of Jews were deported by train from Salonika, Greece to Auschwitz, where they were faced with certain death. Albom does his best to expose to the reader the true terrors that occurred. 16 pages into the book, a baby was thrown from the window of a train. I wish I were kidding! I used to stay away from historical fiction, and I have no idea why. These are now some of my favorite books.
