Although this was a sad book it a very good read. Terrible what the Jewish people went through at the hands of a monster.

pickThis was a very interesting story of a Jewish passport forger in Nazi Berlin. It is well written, so well that sometimes the funny and eventful story covered the terror of being captured. I‘m torn between this is a good thing and the necessary seriousness is missing.
Some tougher reading after Christmas. It is written in a flowing style so far.
pickI was intrigued by this from the #Nonfiction2024 list, and hope to read the first volume when available. This sequel centres on the author‘s challenging interviews with his father and their complex relationship, intertwined with his father‘s grim narrative of survival and liberation from a series of Nazi death camps. I consider it non-fiction although it‘s often labelled as a graphic novel: creatively portraying people as various animals. #Maus
pickI decided to read this on Thanksgiving to remind myself of all for which I am grateful. Estelle‘s story is devastating, as all Holocaust memoirs are. Being told in graphic novel format makes the story more accessible and forces the reader to confront the travesties occurring right before their eyes.

This quick read is a fictionalized story based on Hoffman's research and knowledge of the Holocaust. Specifically what life may have been like for Anne and her family as they fought to live a "normal" life during the Nazi occupation before they went into hiding. A very well written, beautiful, and heartbreaking novel. #audiobook
