Once We Were Brothers
junie avatar reviewed on + 630 more book reviews


This was a "can't put down" book. From page one to the very end, It is a gripping story of a 83 year old Holocast survivor who accuses a pillar of the community of being a Nazi War Criminal! I know the story has been done before, but Ben tells his version of growing up with this German boy whose parents abandoned him. Ben's parents took him into their lives and he grew up with Ben from the time they were eight years old, brothers in every sense of the word. That is until he betrayed them!

I didn't want this book to end, and I can't stop thinking about it.
Excellent, 5 stars
