The story itself was important, one I hadn't heard before now. I liked the idea behind it, but since it was basically transcribed from an interview, it didn't have as smooth of a flow that a book usually has.

I didnt know this memoir, in transcribed oral history format told by both sisters, is intended for middle grade readers. It‘s short but powerful & poignant. Renee (hearing) and Herta (Deaf) live in then-Czechoslovakia with their Deaf parents during the Holocaust. They use sign language. And they are Jewish.
As a Deaf person, I appreciate that their story has been published. I recommend for all ages. Incidentally Sept. is Deaf Awareness Month 👇
