A mother that is willing to do anything to save her daughter.
We are in France during WWII, and the evil that has been threatening Europe has started rounding up people of Jewish faith.
War pulls families apart, and some never return, some lost forever.
A mother and her daughter are sent to the Drancy internment camp. We live with this young mother and her daughter, 5, 6, or 7 year old, she has a birthday as we read, but without much food, is rather malnourished, but oh, so loveable. We see her playing with the head commandant's two daughters, and the author shows how they probably treated this young prisoner.
I was surprised how the prisoners treated one another, how some will turn on another, sad.
There are also a few of those in control whom have compassion.
This is a story that really needs to keep being told, we need never forget. Thank you Alex Amit.
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher BooksGoSocial, and was not required to give a positive review.
