New Book

I finished my pirate book and moved on. I just finished reading this book tonight.


This book was incredible. I cannot even find the words to explain the power, horror, inspiration, and strength this book details. This was such a humbling book. I can no longer complain that keeping my house at 67 degrees is torture when I read about the suffering that was inflicted upon the Jewish in the concentration camps. Tonight as I lay Jax down to bed I looked at his round face, chubby cheeks, and brown eyes and couldn't imagine the horror of what the Jewish population experienced. I cannot imagine living in that time period and having my children taken from me, not knowing if they were sent to camps to labor or just executed. The fact that people survived through this is a miracle. The fact that this horrific experience in time even occurred is heartbreaking. Hannelore Wolff tells her struggles of going through three years in concentration camps and the heartbreak of losing all her family members. I do not want give a full description of this book because I feel it is a book you must read to really appreciate. Although it paints a horrific picture of life in a concentration camp it does have a beautiful rainbow at the end of the story and Hannelore Wolff was a woman to be admired for her strength and strong testimony that inspired others.

This was an incredible book. The weird part about it though was when they said living in consentration camps was like living in Shannons house. I found that as a weird analogy,. Also Ifound weird that people read books.
