-This was very hard-hitting, yet it managed to stay YA without compromising its truth.
-This is, quite possibly, the perfect non-fiction story for people who don‘t usually like non-fiction.

-Not necessarily a con but the cover suggests that this has romance but it really doesn‘t.
-Gerta‘s story didn‘t have the gravitation that Rudy‘s did and she often felt like an afterthought.
pickRudolf Vrba/Walter Rosenberg, was the first of 60,000 Jews who were deported from Slovakia between March and October 1942. He was the first to escape the hell of Auschwitz and just one of only four to do so. His friend Fred Wetzler escaped with him. Walter was caught and taken to Majdanek and was there for twelve days; from there he went to Auschwitz, having heard of something better called ‘Kanada‘. He had no idea what nightmares awaited⬇️
pickFascinating, detailed true story. (There are some sections you don‘t want to be eating anything 😞).
The overall lesson from these tellings is that we don‘t learn from history, and we carry on killing people thinking it solves things. It never has, nor will it.
Train reading. On work thing to London. Travelling with 4 people, we‘ve all sat separately and are working/reading. My kind of work colleagues!
