A review by jmatkinson1
The Good Doctor of Warsaw by Elisabeth Gifford
4.0
Misha and Sofia are young and in love, they are ready to commit to each other. However outside their charmed life in Warsaw world events are are more complex. Misha and Sofia are Jews and as the Nazis invade Poland they find that they are confined to the Warsaw ghetto. Both have worked with Dr Korczak, the director of an orphanage, and they are concerned about the future of their mentor and the children. As the noose tightened around Warsaw's Jews Misha and Sofia have to make important decisions and Dr Korczak has to help his children as best he can.
Based on a true story this is an uplifting tale of heroism and love despite all the travails around. Dr Korczak was a true hero and whilst Misha and Sofia were incidental characters in the true tale, their story is the glue that binds this book together. Moving as times and a reminder of how bad prejudice can be.
