Wow. This was a completely different look into this subject. Loved seeing the pictures at the end - I can't believe these people are still alive today and can share their stories with us, it's so important.

A heart wrenching account of Bergen Belsen's and The Children's House.

So fact: this is the book I've had the longest on my owned TBR. I went to a talk by the author of this book, who is a Holocaust survivor, once and was incredibly moved by it, and bought her memoir, but I didn't read it for years because word war two stories are really, really sad

This definitely was really, really sad but it was really good too. I don't know what else to say about it really. The strength and resilience of the people in this story is astounding but what happened to them is horrific.
