The Light of Days by Judy Batalion

4.0

---

This book is full of so many incredible stories that need to be told. Batalion did such amazing research in compiling this information, which included translating many many texts. It is so important for these stories to not be lost to history so that we do not repeat history. Many of the stories are horrific and graphic, but that's what happened and I'm glad Batalion didn't sugar coat it. I was constantly in awe of what these brave women did to resist Hitler and how they risked their lives. I'm so glad Batlion wrote this story. However, my one criticism was Batalion's writing style. She bogged this book down with quite a bit of information that rather than add to these women's stories, it detracted from them. I wish she had more organization into how she told these stories. But I would still recommend this book to anyone as I think it is so important that people hear the experiences these women and many others went through.
