Reviews

[Jean Kelly · Rating 4 out of 5]

A devastatingly informing book about the Holocaust in Hungary. Most interesting to me was the details of the resistance that I had not been that aware of and the painful decisions that needed to be made about whether to fight to the death or try to have some Jewish survivors.
