Reading this while there is a current genocide happening was extremely difficult. History has constantly repeated and yet we never learn. I think this was beautifully written. It tore at your soul because all you wanted to do was reach in the pages and hug these children. Get them out of the horrible situations each one was going through. I truly believe everyone should read this. Especially now.
