- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What an amazing story of survival in an evil time in history. It always amazes me how survivors of the Holocaust were able to move to different countries, learn new languages, assimilate, marry & start their own families while still in many instances having to put up with the same old prejudices & also trying to come to terms with what happened to them . I truly admire the spirit of all those survivors & am in awe of their courage to not only tell their stories about survival but about the courage & kindness of others who risked their lives to help others. It's so important to keep educating people so this never happens again.
