A hearty story revolving arpund religion. From the review, the story appears interesting with suspense made at the start of the story to create anxiety among the readers.

I love historical fiction, especially set during the world wars. And I wonder if the main character chose the Seventh day Adventist faith because I know they were persecuted by the Nazi regime.
Great review!

It must be difficult for a child to choose between his father's and mother's religions. The child may feel they're choosing one parent over the other. Sometimes children embrace a totally different religion. War is devastating and I admire the men and women who fought bravely and stuck to their principles. Thank you for your informative review.

Your review is very interesting, Joule! I sampled this book, and I agree that this family history involving persecution for faith and escape from Yugoslavia, is an appealing read for memoir fans.

This shows how Kalman’s daughter was touched to write on how people on WW2 lived with their faith they agreed to be tortured but still they stand with their beliefs as we see How Kalman did.

Thank you for your information and enriching review.
Near the Danube Bridge by Catherine-Allen Walters captures my interest in that it is a family biography concerning the Hartigs and Kirchners and the resiliency of Kalman, in particular, in terms of his faith, despite experiencing years of imprisonment and persecution. This read sounds worth the turn of each page, etched with bitter-sweet and thought- provoking moments , set in dark and tense moments of history. I appreciate that the despite the struggles encountered by the family members, the message brought to the forefront is ultimately the value of never giving up.

From Kalman's life, standing firm on his faith and being resilient and optimistic during challenges and adversities is worthy of emulating. I would love to read this book. Congratulations to the BOTD author!

Every time I come across such stories from the 90s about the massacre of Christians, I always get a shiver running through my veins because it's scary to even think about it, let alone read about it. Sincerely speaking, I have never understood why people would kill each other just because of religion. It's just sickening and sad with all the genocide and mass killings.
