Gifted | This book In The Warsaw Ghetto was gifted to me by Netgalley in return for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Before starting this book I knew it would be a heartbreaking read and I was right. In the Warsaw Ghetto gripped me right from the beginning. For those of you who don’t know, I am a huge history buff and I love everything to do with history and learning as much as possible. So let’s have a look at my In The Warsaw Ghetto A.R.C book review.

This book was tense, dark and something I believe should be read by anyone who loves history. Although this book is a work of fiction and isn’t historically accurate it gives so much context into what the Jews went through during Hitler’s reign of power within the Third Reich.

This story is broken up into three parts. It is fast-paced and full of suspense. Right from the beginning, we become aware of the threat Hitler has on both Ala, Max when we meet them and all of the Jews. This story moves very quickly which makes sense because Hitler’s take over was very very quick in Poland during his reign which is factually correct.

Throughout this story, there are many twists and turns that leave you breathless waiting to see what happens next and when I think I have the plot figured out it changes again and leaves me guessing.

My heart went out to each and every person within this story. Although I loved this story and loved the insight it gave me to the treatment of the Jews during the time of Hitler’s reign of terror. In the Warsaw Ghetto truly broke my heart and I know it will stay in my heart and mind for a very very long time. Once I finished this book I needed a few days away from reading to think about this book and make sure I didn’t burst into tears.

This is a must-read 5-star book. It is so important to remind everyone of what happened during this horrible time. I believe that this time period should always be remembered. This is a must-read if you are a history or just love reading historical fiction. Although this story isn’t very relatable to my life it is still a hugely important story that pulls at your heartstrings and tear ducts.
