28 Days: A Novel of Resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto by David Safier
2.0
I was unsatisfied with the ending, because there was clearly no happily ever after, and life in the forest was going to be just as tenuous as life in the ghetto, but the story just left them there, where the truck left them, somewhere in the woods.
I thought the book did a good job at the beginning of introducing side characters and letting us get to know them a little before having the Nazis rip them away and break our hearts (I'm looking at you, Kercheck, and all your little orphans). But by the end, when there was so much action and running, I didn't have a real sense of who any of the minor characters were, so if they died, it was sad, but that's what happens in war stories.
