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

4.0

Be ready to cry and possibly throw up. This book is painful to read. Ive learned of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising from a very shallow perspective but really had no idea the strong presence that Jewish women had among the rescue efforts in Poland. It is so inspiring to know this story. I gave this book 4 stars because it was very hard to follow all of the characters throughout its length. I dont know if that was due to the author’s writing style or just the fact that the main characters are constantly changing as one is executed after another. Either way, it is difficult to follow at times.
