I had read a few materials on the heinous acts that Germans subjected Jews to. The Germans' intention to obliterate all Jews from the face of the earth is a gruesome story. However, I'm a fan of historical fiction, and I'll definitely read this one.

Amazing review! The Holocaust is the most unspeakable horrific piece of history and I pray it is never repeated. The racism and prejudice in our society today scares me because that is what fed the Third Reich in the extermination of the Jews. I am going to have nightmares, but I will finish the book.

This book sounds great. There are so many books of historical fiction that are delivered dryly, with more textbook material than imagination. I'm glad to see that this one is engaging! Great review!

Latest Review: The Artificial Intelligence Rights and Responsibilities Act” by Alton Booth

Post by Jorge Leon Salazar »

A fictional historical novel that recounts the atrocities that Jewish Poles suffered from Germans during World War II. It is based on the approach of a grandfather who wants to prepare his people, especially his granddaughters to face the horrors that lie ahead. It seems suitable for fans of historical character-based fiction.

Wonderful review. I was instantly interested in reading this book. Although I don't enjoy history, I have always enjoyed reading about the Nazi era. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

A warrior in making!!!.....I loved the concept of this book . I have read Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice" which portrayed Shylock, a Jew, evil indeed. The Contemporary history lessons portrayed them as " innocent , kind victims". I am not a Christian, hence I have a little knowledge of the religious sentiments that instilled mutual hostility among these 2 religious groups . This piece of writing might be the one that can enlighten me on this topic. Apart from the curiosity, the storyline is fascinating. I love books with strong female characters. Nd here is it .....gonna add this to my book shelf.
The reviewer 's analysis of the book is quite impressive . Congrats on BOTD🥰!!
