Suzanne's Children: A Daring Rescue in Nazi Paris by Anne Nelson
4.0
This non-fiction book was difficult for me to read - the struggles of the families and the decisions that parents, government officials, supporters all had to make were hard. I often stopped to read more about the events in Europe and the United States during the same time.
Children abandoned in Paris because their parents were arrested - left to fend for themselves. Children that Suzanne Spark and others organized to help. Some children brought to safety - others sent to the death camps. And what of Suzanne's own children - assisting their mother when they could - and then abandoned themselves when she is imprisoned for her efforts in aiding Jewish children.
