Trigger Warnings for this book! This book granted is well written and informative of a horrific period of relatively recent history. But it is harrowing.... I mean just look at the trigger warnings already put in by the reviews. This book is dark and darker. Partly the gut-wrenchingly horrible part of it is that you can see this is based in truth and these things happened to many people and are still happening around the world. I had to finish it to find out what happened and read it in 4hrs straight, but my mind is still troubled and will be for a while I think.
