This is the last book in this series. I have learned so much about this time in history and grown to love the characters that have gone through all of the books. I certainly hate to see the series end and plan to read the other books by Bodie Thoene including the Zion Chronicles and others. Her writing skills coupled with her husband's history research knowledge bring the events and color of this time in history to life. It was interesting to see how the events in Europe in the 1930's and 40'

The stress of the people in these European countries that were victims of Hitler is well portrayed and felt. I wish I knew which events are definitely fiction, which are based on facts and which are taken straight from reality. I guess I need to do my own research.

I didn't feel the series was complete. I have lots of questions about what happened to a bunch of people. There is another series, but I didn't know they built on each other, if they do. If the next series doesn't answer some of my questions, I'll be kind of miffed. :0)

I love this WHOLE series!! I used to own the set but it got lost when my boxes of books were mailed to me when I moved. I'm still bummed after 8 years.

Read this series about twelve years ago when living in Vernal. It's a good story of danger and intrigue in Nazi Germany.

After 6 books I wanted more closure...but maybe there is a series after this?

Didn't like the ending at all! I needed at least something to come to a conclusion, and nothing was resolved. Not a single mention of Leah and Shimon, either. Still, a very good read with lots of history mixed in.

It's difficult to follow the characters through these books and see them fall at the hands of the Nazis...it brings the tragedies of WW II and the holocaust vividly to life. The authors definitely feel that the world's democracies share in the blame for the holocaust, due to the policies of appeasement and lack of initiative in taking in Jewish refugees...hard to argue with them.

Loved this series!!!! It will make a wonderful addition to our library.
I didn't want this book to end. I wanted it to take me throughout the entire war. However, I was moved deeply by the ending and the epilogue. My favorite character was Alfie. If we could all be more like him, the world would never be plagued by hatred and war.

I did not want this book to end, as I was so connected with the characters in this series. Once again, I learned so much of the history that led up to WWII. A wonderful read, and although it wasn't my favorite book out of the series, I still loved it.

This one was excellent. It was very sad in some parts but you really got a glimpse of what the Jews might have went through during this dark time in history.

My favorite historical series. Superbly edited, tautly drawn plot lines. Very good reading.
