joeelowe 's review for:
The Warsaw Orphan
by Kelly Rimmer
Gripping from the beginning. A powerful fictional narrative from a devastatingly brutal chapter in human history. Rimmer captures the complexities of human life that are heightened by war. Makes you contemplate both contemporary events, such as Ukraine, in relation to what war and occupation means for civilian populations; as well as past events and the costs we stand to pay if we allow history to repeat itself. The holocaust must be taught and examined if we humans are ever going to have a chance of overcoming our worst impulses. Does that offer hope? Probably not since too many of us are ignorant of our history and what it can teach us.
