Mostly what I know about the Jews urging the war cones from school, which was mostly consentration camps and gas chambers, so when I saw the film a coupleof years back, it was great to see a new view and one that showed there were survivors out there. On browsing the charity shop for books for an elderly aunt, I spotted this and for 75p couldn't resist! And finally I sit down to read it. It's not a story as such, more of a factual book based on interviews with people that went through this. It wasn't an easy read by any means, but was certainly an eye opener and an education to a different part of the war. And in some ways uplifting, what a hero for saving so many lives.
