Some Great Books this Summer - a MUST read! Really liked this book as it gave a perspective to those persecuted under Hitler that were not Jewish. The book is written from the perspective of 3 individuals -- a woman in NYC trying to help the French children; a Polish woman and her family who were sent to one of the worst "re-education camps" where horrific experiments were done on healthy individuals (most of them non-Jewish); and from a female German doctor who worked at that. historical fiction that tells the story of three very different women during WWII, effectively Shannon B. It has been a long time since I've read a novel this moving. The story alternates between three characters.

Best book I have read this year! Absolutely enthralling, intriguing and insightful. I learned a piece of history I never knew about while reading this very well written and researched book.

How these women are impacted by World War II and how their lives intersect is the crux
