When We Were Brave

De: Karla M. Jay

Narrado por: Gary Bennett

In WHEN WE WERE BRAVE, we find a conflicted SS officer, Wilhelm Falk, who risks everything to escape the Wehrmacht and get out the message about the death camps. Izaak is a young Jewish boy whose positive outlook is challenged daily as each new perilous situation comes along. American citizens, Herbert Müller, and his family, are sent back to the hellish landscape of Germany because of the DNA coursing through their veins. In the panorama of World War II, these are the high-stakes plots and endearing characters whose braided fates we pray will work out in the end.

When We Were Brave

This book was outstanding. I know it is fiction but I have read many books and watched documentaries but this one touched me greatly. I was not aware of the US deportation of American citizens for bogus reasons. The Mueller family did not stand a chance which I am sure really happened to many. Makes me ashamed as an American. The story of Fauk who tried to warn the world of atrocities of the camps is a warning to us all to speak up about injustice.
Itzak and his family’s plight was a common occurrence which is also shameful. Thank you for researching and writing this book.
