Good read

The story has different perspectives of different people through tragic tails. Written really well and educated me with some things I didn’t think about before.

Amazing, heartfelt and courage story of survival and the love and perseverance of the human race. Wow!

I loved this book. The stories in it were so inspiring and heartbreaking. I loved hearing the experience of Josef and also of minka and how each pov was different but both heartbreaking and also inspirational and thought provoking. I loved it so much! So much strength and conviction in such a horrible time of destruction, depravity and inhuman conditions. Also the difficult decision to forgive. So amazing!

The philosophical part of the story.

Unusual way to tell a story that has been told in so many ways. But the really particular point in this book is the philosophical content and the discussion on the word "to forgive".

Fantastic story

Overall, the book was great. It was a little difficult to shift between the characters’ stories, but I think it was due to the fact that I was listening to it, rather than reading it. I’m not all that into historical fiction, but this was an excellent telling of a horrible time in world history.
