Readers' Comments
“I was so inspired reading this author's story. Sad in parts, but always filled with an element of hope.” Male reader, aged 43
“The brutal honesty of the author is a strong element of this book. Powerfully written, it's often hard to digest how evil the Nazi's were. This man shows how to forgive – I don't know if I could. Possibly, a good editor might tighten up the odd clumsy paragraph but, other than that, it's a well-told story, sombre of course, but gripping.” Female reader, aged 52
“A fascinating, often shocking, look at life under the Nazis. A story of this nature is so important to remind us of the horrors of war and extremism. I'm very glad the authors shared this story.” Female reader, aged 58
”Victor's story must never be forgotten – or the story of any of the victims of the holocaust. This book will stay with me for a long time.” Male reader, aged 62
To Sum It Up:
'An inspiring story filled with courage. A RED RIBBON WINNER and highly recommended!' The Wishing Shelf Book Awards
