I loved this memorable truthful story of a family in Budapest, Hungry in the months before WWII. Equally the war comes to Budapest I couldn't put this book down. It is an indictment of the cruelty driven by bullheaded hatred that men are capable of committing. And it is likewise a positive view of the force and courage of others. The force, courage and determination of some very strong women were inspiring. Add to that a honey story for the ages, and it was a fabled read.

In a fashion, Betty Schimmel was a very lucky person. Every bit a girl, her male parent moved the family unit from Czechoslovakia to Budapest, Hungary, in order to abscond the Nazis. Simply somewhen, the Nazis invaded even Hungary, and information technology was so that Betty and her mother and siblings were sent to a concentration camp. What makes her lucky is that the invasion didn't happen until March of 1944, then the family didn't accept to endure years and years of starvation and overwork like the Jews in Federal republic of germany. Also Betty's female parent west In a way, Betty Schimmel was a very lucky person. As a girl, her father moved the family from Czechoslovakia to Budapest, Republic of hungary, in order to flee the Nazis. But somewhen, the Nazis invaded even Hungary, and it was so that Betty and her mother and siblings were sent to a concentration camp. What makes her lucky is that the invasion didn't happen until March of 1944, so the family didn't have to endure years and years of starvation and overwork similar the Jews in Germany. Also Betty's female parent was an extremely strong woman who kept her kids going even when they felt they had lost all hope. Equally a upshot, not merely Betty but also her mother, sister, and blood brother all survived the Holocaust.

Simply Betty did lose her true dearest Richie cheers to Hitler and the Nazi government. After she and her family were liberated from the concentration camp, she tried so hard to detect Richie merely ultimately came up empty. Eventually she gave in to a immature man who was as well a survivor and desperate to replace the family he lost with one of his ain with Betty, and they were married. Only Betty never forgot her truthful love, and ached for him every day of her life.

The horrors in this book are really awful. And what makes it near worse is that Schimmel records them in such a dry, matter-of-fact voice, though you lot know information technology's totally breaking her heart and soul to witness these horrific things. The reading is hard at times, to know that the Nazis could so hands murder someone merely because s/he was a Jew. At that place were several times I was nearly moved to tears, reading about the awful things Schimmel witnessed during these terrible years.

I tin empathize why she had a difficult time with her husband Otto. He wasn't the one she wanted, and she always held out hope that Richie was still alive. It is true that she does come up beyond as a scrap cocky-absorbed throughout the book, since she could have realized that Otto was even more damaged than she was by his time in Auschwitz, considering he was the only surviving member of his family unit. I sympathize having a soul mate, but at the same fourth dimension, she did agree to ally Otto on her ain, and she could have decided to treat Otto amend much earlier in their wedlock, while notwithstanding loving Richie in her center of hearts. I applaud the determination she ultimately made, as information technology was the mature and correct decision.

Highly recommended, though some of the situations tin be graphic.

Her mother seemed like a very strong adult female and someone to aspire to. Getting caught in a raid with her little brother or watching her friend get shot in the street was horrific and what makes it worse is that all of this was just a small part of what that function of the world and population suffered. ...more

That aspect of the story was splendid. The writing mode was non my favorite but the straightforward telling is useful for telling historical happenings.

Even so, the "love story" was so bad. First it was awkward to read all the intimate details of teenage lovers. Yes, all the details. So her marriage was painful to read virtually considering information technology was and then conspicuously rushed so clearly something she didn't desire. I won't ruin the ending of the book but her story was pretty aggravating to read from the bespeak that they got to America on. Can I blame a Holocaust-survivor for making poor emotional choices?

And when the survivors and witness are gone, their stories will remain. And 1 story in particular has stayed with me since the get-go page.

Betty has never forgotten her first dear, a handsome boy she met in Budapest. She had always thought he'd notice her, if he survived the Holocaust, but he never did. All she had was memories and daydreams of what if.

Decades after in Budapest, she sees a man beyond the room and her centre stops. It could be him. He could have survived. He could have gone his whole life without knowing she lived too. He could have been in Budapest waiting for her and she didn't know.

Information technology could be Richie, the boy she loved.

My eye breaks with the knowledge that hate can propel people, even our neighbors, to such cruelty.
