I read Sophie's Choice for my Modern Library blogs and liked it so I may have to check this one out.

There are so many lessons we can learn from them if only we are open to them.<br /><br />Thank you everyone who has commented! I can't express enough how grateful I am that you are taking the time to visit even while I'm away.

What does cause normal, rational, upstanding, God-fearing people to turn into such monsters or to turn a blind eye to what was occurring in Germany and Poland during WWII. I am definitely adding this to my TBR pile.

I've often wondered how those behind the Holocaust could possibly have convinced themselves that they were in the right, so I'll definitely pick up this book.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-66720496244485613582009-08-20T13:41:59.548-07:002009-08-20T13:41:59.548-07:00Interesting perspective.

It's easy to think that things like this can't happen and would never happen again, but the way things start out small and then all the sudden seem to be spinning out of control demand that we pay close attention to all the things happening around us. Thanks, Sandy. This one will definitely be finding a place on my wish list.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-67616394437456371472009-08-20T07:17:05.702-07:002009-08-20T07:17:05.702-07:00Wow.

I just read a book about the death camps from the perspective of a man who survived them as a teenager and as I read it I kept wondering how people could be so cruel. We could really get into a big discussion about this topic. This book sounds informative and important, but difficult to read.
