Critics Review

A powerfully moving chronicle

A powerfully moving chronicle * Daily Express *Powerful cries of pain…All of them capture some element of the torment, and of hope….What might seem a monotonous roll of horror stories becomes, under her keen ear, a mosaic of infinite variety…can be read with an assurance that there will be many aspects of Holocaust in them that will be new, remarkable and thought-provoking – Martin Gilbert * Financial Times *Full of rich insights…There are no greater stories of courage than those of old relatives who sacrificed themselves so that others could survive * The Jewish Chronicle *Deserves maximum space everywhere this autumn… poignant and sometimes horrific reading… it is a timely reminder to appreciate our lives and those we share it with * The Bookseller *probably the most harrowing book I’ll ever read…gripping….its subject matter is something that should never be forgotten * Bookseller *a fascinating, compelling read * Ham and High *
