While Paris Slept by Ruth Druart
5.0
I thought this book was all about the cruelty of Germans towards Jewish people who lived in France during WWII. But it was about family, how David and Sarah survived in the Auschwitz just thinking about their son being alive. It was a difficult decision for Sarah to give her baby to a stranger who was working for Germans. But she thought it was the right thing to do so she could save her baby from cruelty.
When I read the story, I realized how people could be cruel to someone if you give them power. History tells us about what happened in Auschwitz. How Jewish struggled when Germans tracked and hunted them to kill. I was thinking if I were in their shoes, I don't think I could survive. Imagine, being a Jewish was a crime that time. I asked myself, what if 'Christians' will be hunted down to persecute them, what would I do? Could I stand against my enemies or would I give up my faith just to spare myself?
Well, just questions and thoughts running in my head. Anyway, read this if you're into historical fiction and stories about family.
