The Woman with the Blue Star

The history behind The Woman with the Blue Star by Pam Jenoff goes as follows. A sewage work in the town of Lvov used his knowledge to protect a group of Jews from the Nazis. Think about that. People went down to and lived in the sewers with all the filth that entails to escape and to survive! What is so important about stories such as this one is that they remind us of man's atrocities towards man. What is also important is the fact that these two young women transcend their differences to find friendship, and that along with the atrocities, such periods in history also brought out heroes who brought help and hope. Perhaps, one day we will learn.
