An incredibly moving story and fascinating historical accuracy!
Twin sisters, Antonina and Helena Dabrowska have their lives turned upside down in 1939 with the German invasion of Poland. No one could understand how terrible life became for not only Jewish residents, who were sent to work camps, but also the ordinary citizens that had to endure the invasion and see their neighbors sent to die. Both sisters knew that something had to be done and that if they were caught, it would be the end.
I love reading about this time period because I do not want history to repeat itself and so little is taught academically. Whereas most of the stories set in Poland have focused on work camps, this one focuses on the residents of Warsaw and what they did to protect those they loved as well as those they didn’t even know. The characters were beyond realistic in this book and the accuracy is amazing that I often had to look up certain events to compare. This is the first book I have read by Barratt, but I will look forward to each new release!
