Your passion in this review is equal and without question - contagious. <br /> <br />I had no idea the power within the pages of this book. You ignite the reader to want more with this outstanding review. You invite us to hide in the shadows, to cry, to rejoice, to walk in their shoes, to understand.<br /><br />I'm humbled reading this review. Thank you so much. <br /><br />Cynthia AKA CindiCynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861809449530709429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-24642049143552652192010-02-10T14:46:43.445-06:002010-02-10T14:46:43.445-06:00Charles,

I think it would be nice if you were a little more honest about the fact that your comment is, in fact, an advertisement for a book you wrote. It took me quite a while to decide where or not to post it. <br /><br />Everyone else . . . <br /><br />I have not read the book mentioned by Charles and am not endorsing it by publishing his comment, although it looks quite interesting.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-854382194207445652010-02-09T18:33:27.381-06:002010-02-09T18:33:27.381-06:00You might also wish to consider Jacob's Courag...You might also wish to consider Jacob's Courage, http://jacobscourage.wordpress.com/. This historical novel presents accurate scenes and situations of Jews in ghettos and concentration camps, with particular attention to Theresienstadt and Auschwitz. It explores the dazzling beauty of passionate love, powerful faith and enduring bravery in a lurid world where the innocent are brutally murdered. From desperate despair, to unforgettable moments of chaste beauty, Jacob’s Courage examines a constellation of emotions during a time of incomprehensible brutality.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543105906628694496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-46509016865433497942010-02-08T11:47:14.755-06:002010-02-08T11:47:14.755-06:00Paula,

I'll have to check my library.<br /><br />I think you'd like this book (They Were Just People). It's really good. The notes and other material really round it out. It's an incredible read, IMHO.<br /><br />Anna,<br /><br />Yes, I know you got a copy. I recommended that the author contact you. :) I hope you "enjoy" it as much as I did. It's very thorough, yes. I appreciated the depth of the research; it's a very well-thought out and crafted book.<br /><br />Krista,<br /><br />I'm still having trouble getting from point A to point B with Google reader, so I wasn't able to comment at your blog, but I noticed that your little one is sick. I hope he feels better quickly. Hugs to both of you.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-43713982586613915482010-02-07T23:04:03.364-06:002010-02-07T23:04:03.364-06:00This one sounds fascinating.

I think I'll have to get a copy. I know my hubby would want to read it, too.<br /><br />BTW, have you ever watched the movie Defiance? Here's the blurb from Netflix:<br /><br />Daniel Craig stars as Tuvia Bielski, one of four Jewish brothers who escape from Poland into the forests of Belarus during World War II to lead a band of resistance fighters and create a safe haven for Jewish refugees. The real-life sanctuary established by the Bielski brothers saved more than 1,000 Jews from persecution and death. Liev Schreiber, Jamie Bell and George MacKay also star in this moving historical drama based on actual events.<br /><br />We watched it a month or so ago.

Your book is stunning and I'm grateful to have had the chance to read it. <br /><br />Chris,<br /><br />PBS is tricky, since books often don't show up until they're listed (unless they have a big publisher -- I don't quite get how that works). But, I can tell you it's definitely worth buying. <br /><br />Kathy,<br /><br />I always feel obligated to put the word "enjoy" in quotations, too. It's definitely a book that makes you question yourself and how you'd react in similar situations.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-59152279456103044712010-02-06T07:39:20.677-06:002010-02-06T07:39:20.677-06:00I "enjoy" books like this and like you, ...I "enjoy" books like this and like you, always wonder if I would be strong enough to fight or if I would just accept my fate.
