Small but mighty! A book that everyone should read at some point in their lives!
My next chunkster to tackle…
This is a very short book, so I was able to finish listening in a few hours. I read the physical book several years ago and listening to it now had the same effect as then. I cried, I was angry and I was frustrated. What‘s going on in Israel and the West Bank is not much different (in my opinion) than what happened back then. The government of Israel is using a different means with the same goal. Extermination. #ceasefirenow
“Night offers much more than a litany of the daily terrors, everyday perversions, and rampant sadism at Auschwitz and Buchenwald; it also eloquently addresses many of the philosophical as well as personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of what the Holocaust was, what it meant, and what its legacy is and will be.”
Loved learning more about Bep and some of the history from that time.
Completed my 4th read of the #readathon. This was amazing, and I'm glad I finally picked it up. I think I have to read the 2nd one now too. #deweysreadathon @DeweysReadathon
This was a very hard read, but l also think so important. This book shows the evil people are capable of, but also the importance of acts of kindness- no matter how small. It‘s chilling to think of how easily the German people accepted the Nazis antisemitism. A lesson to us all
