As I was reading, I found myself wishing this wasn’t a true story, but every time that thought crossed my mind it made me sicker. Because of Lily I now understand why so many complied with the demands of the Nazi’s and was able to see the war through the eyes of a Hungarian Jew. I felt what Lily felt as she went through horror after horror, day after day. Her strength to endure what she did is unbelievable and honestly, I don’t know if I would have that much will to live if I were put in that same situation.
I read this novel in practically one sitting but there were moments I had to sit the book down, take a deep breath, and gather my thoughts and emotions. It is a page-turner while also being hard to read due to the very heavy subject matter.
I love Dov so much for helping his great-great-grandmother like he has. I have one grandmother still living and because of reading this account I have been asking more questions about her life and have already learned several things I didn’t know before. It also has me thinking about how if these stories aren’t told that time will make them cease to exist. That fact makes me so sad, which is why I have been feeling it in my own heart to tell stories of the past. Whether we realize it or not, they are important.
