The Warsaw Orphan by Kelly Rimmer
4.0

Another heart wrenching story from the world war 2 era. This book is fiction, but based in reality as it follows the people who helped save hundreds of children from the ghettos of Warsaw at risk of their own lives and the lives of their families.

I think this book got real for me when the children were smuggled out through the sewers, coming out of the dark hole covered in facies and smelling horrendous. I've heard so many stories like this and I couldn't imagine going through something that terrible. It goes to show the lengths people will go to to survive.

The story is told from multiple points of view and I did get lost at times, but that might be due to the way I was reading it through a text to speech app. Sometimes its not clear who's point of view I was diving into.

Every character had a part to play and they were so easy to get to know. Strong individuals that made change in the world around them.

I loved reading this book, but my heart hurts.
