pickAnother memoir that NEEDS to be added to EVERY school curriculum. Heartbreaking and immersive. Gorgeous narration. I‘m always amazed how people can endure and ultimately thrive after suffering & experiencing such horror. As I sat in my living room with tears running down my face,my son wanted to know “why I torture myself” and I responded “until my last breath I will bear witness and share these stories so that the next generation #NeverForgets

Cinfhen And DEFINITELY a top 10 read for 2023 1y
CBee This is exactly why I read the stories and watch the movies and shows…. To bear witness and never ever forget. If you haven‘t watched it already, A Small Light (Nat Geo) is incredible! 1y

CBee @Cinfhen you must 💚 it‘s so well done. And I learned so much more about Miep Gies. Be prepared to cry with this one too 😢 1y

The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case InvestigationCBee @Cinfhen that one looks interesting! Stacked! 1y
CBee Also, I read this when I was in high school, it‘s one I highly recommend:Alicia 1y
AliciaCinfhen Oh wow!! I no nothing about your book @CBee Thanks for sharing!! I was /am very hesitant to read the Betrayal about Anne Frank because apparently the author can not authenticate her claim and she names a Jewish person as the culprit which many say is a way of demonizing the Jews and turning the victims into the perpetrators. I‘m conflicted but curious to read nonetheless 1y
CBee @Cinfhen I believe they talk about that in A Small Light and I remember reading that there is a bit of controversy there. 1y
Librarybelle I so need to read this! 1y
LeahBergen Great review! I‘ll be saving this for just the right moment. 😢 1y
Cinfhen I just downloaded A Small Light on Prime Video @CBee - watched the first episode. I always assumed Miep was an older woman, I never realized how young she was. WOW her bravery! 1y
Cinfhen It was only like 6 hours on audio, maybe less @Librarybelle @LeahBergen but it‘s beyond impactful. Highly recommend audio - narration was excellent. 1y
CBee @Cinfhen I did too! She was so young and never even hesitated to help. Just heroic and so brave. 1y
TheAromaofBooks Great review!!! 1y
Megabooks Powerful!! 1y
Centique I totally agree - we need to bear witness through books to these experiences. Just have a break to recover afterwards! 1y
