As someone who has read multiple books on the Holocaust I cannot recommend this book enough! The true stories of each of the Kurc siblings, spouses and parents are filled with danger, adventure, determination to survive and ultimate a humble glimmer of hope and faith that they will all be reunited again. It was amazing to hear the vastly different directions the war took them and provides a tale that other books don’t cover. Excited to watch the new Hulu series now!

This took a while, and I walked to DNF it so many times early on. There were too many characters to track, and I kept getting lost in the story. Plus I generally don’t love WWII as a genre. Glad I stuck with it. Payoff was worth it.
