Save a Life

I promise I am not as far behind in books as I am in blog entries. I thought once finals were over I would have more time but somehow I am more busy than ever. Okay so the first one I finished awhile ago was To Save a Life: Stories of Holocaust Rescue by Ellen Land-Weber. It's a pretty amazing book. It was mentioned in my Jewish Studies class last quarter and I was curious enough about it to add it to my list.

It was tough to read and I found myself having to take long breaks from it. The stories are amazing but also heart breaking. I've had losses but I can't imagine losses such as the ones described. It was tough to read to and realize that there were some incredible survival stories, but mixed in there were some pretty horrifying details.
