This is a book written by the twin of my childhood best friend. I had always known that her parents had escaped the Nazis, but didn't remember a lot of details.
It is just almost surreal of what these people went through. Though it is a story about horrors it is also a story of hope.
Under Major Plagge, 25% of the Jews survived, vs 3% otherwise.
A great story for anyone.

Michael Good finds Major Plagge. He was a German officer who is given credit now for saving many Jews during the war. It is well worth the difficulty in reading about the horrors...that we all wish would never have happened. Major Plagge's story is worth knowing and adding to the list of heroes from that era.
