The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos by Judy Batalion

3.0

dark informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

---

The lives of these women - their histories and families and experiences and legacies - are important. For that alone this book is worth reading. But the way the book was written was a challenge for me. The narrative made it difficult for me to differentiate between many of these women and I couldn’t keep up with where the events happened or to whom or when because of the way the author wove the stories around one another and in time.
