???Human kindness can be found in all groups, even those which as a whole it would be easy to condemn.??????Those who have a ‘why' to live, can bear with almost any ‘how'.???

Rating this book from 5 stars doesn't seem right.

Sometimes I wonder how some books you read, are perfectly suited to your mental state or your surroundings. In a weird way, they are just what you needed at that point in time.

This book found me, not the other way around.

As I mentioned in the book thief review, for a while now, I've been looking for a first-hand account of a Holocaust survivor, but in a novel, not just a paragraph.

The atrocities that were carried out on millions of innocent people, while their fellow citizens slept peacefully, largely unaware of the injustice, haunts me.

Re-reading this for sure, every time there's an obstacle in life that I can't get through.
Just thinking about those millions who suffered, through no fault of their own, makes your problems seem insignificant.

A must-read for all those who live on this speck we call Earth.

P.S.
Reading this book lead me to deep dive into WWII and its aftermath.
Stumbled upon the Nuremberg Trials's Wikipedia page.

If you wish to see the extent of devastation and pain, watch the one hour video (from concentration camps, immediately after liberation ) that was provided as evidence during the trial.
Very graphic, watch at your own risk.Absolutely horrific.
