A book about trauma and false hope and enduring hope and mass murder and survival. A book that changes you. A book about how love changes us. This book feels like it does surgery on my soul every time I read it.

A heavy yet fascinating read about the horrors of the Holocaust. I did not know much of this before, and I'm glad I got to understand this piece of history more through Jane Yolen's writing.
