A long book - a slow book - a painful book - BUT - a moving book - a though-provoking book - a beautiful book.
How the author (who is Jewish and the descendant of Holocaust survivors) managed to write a book about Nazi Germany that sympathized with both the Jews and the "common" German people is beyond me. I don't think I'd ever thought of what life must have been like for the poor German people during this time - the ones who didn't approve of what was going on but didn't have the resources to even try to stand up against it. This book is going to haunt me for a long time I think. I find it hard to get many of the images out of my mind.
