Faithful Friends
Faithful Friends: Holocaust Survivors' Stories of the Pets who Gave Them Comfort, Suffered Alongside Them and Waited for Their Return | Susan Bulanda
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
What happened to the pets that were left behind in World War II Europe, when Jewish families were torn from their homes and taken to ghettos and concentration camps, forced to leave neighborhoods, livelihoods, possessions, and the animals that loved and depended on them? Dogs and cats often faced bleak and harsh conditions but faithfully guarded the house or farm. In the dangers and privations of war, they focused on comforting and protecting their people; and when the family was taken away, they waited and watched for their return.

This short book is an interesting perspective on WWII and the Holocaust. The author collected stories from survivors, mostly children at the time, about their pets. As one would expect there are a few happy stories of the pets that survived while waiting for their people to come back home but many sad stories of pets that did not survive. All of them emphasize the bond of love between people and their pets.
