SHARON CAMERON

The story

In 1943, a girl worked in a Jewish Grocery. She was very appreciated and she was the girlfriend of one of the sons of the owner of the grocery. But everything changes when the German army invades Przemsyl. The Diamants (the Jewish Family) are forced to go into the ghetto. Stefania and her six years old sister Helena are the only one of the family who are uncaptived. They are alone in an occupied city and Stefania has to take care of Hele na. And then comes the knock at the door. Izio's brother Max has jumped from the train headed to a death camp. Stefania and Helena make the extraordinary decision to hide Max, and twelve more Jews.

“It had taught me that people like to divvy up one another with names. Jew. Catholic. German. Pole. But these were the wrong names. They were the wrong dividing lines. Kindness. Cruelty. Love and hate. These were the borders that mattered.”

My OPINION

I loved this book because it's well written and the plot is gripping and powerful

I think that the biggest problem is the beggining. Effectly, it's too long and it was difficult to enter in the story

The book made me think of "August 61" by Sarah Cohen-Scali because this book also talks about the SHOAH.
