dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Powerful to listen as an audiobook with each account given its own actors' voice. 

Detailed account really brings home the horror of everything that happened and how world changing it was. Everything is set up chronologically so you hear the accounts of each individual in the moment and return to them at various points. 

This oral history really captures the humanity and the heroism of the individuals involved
