The very scary part of our history. It is one thing to volunteer another to be unknowingly forced.

This novel moves between two timelines, one in 1940s Netherlands and one in 1960s New York City, but united by similar themes. I honestly can't say which storyline I enjoyed more, but I did find this book highly compelling and the last hundred pages flew by.

This book was a giveaway, Thank you. I truly enjoyed the stories between the two main characters and the two different timelines that followed them. The story really intrigued me on how the two stories would merge at some point. Great book, look forward to reading more from this author.

A compelling read on aspects of early to mid-1900s Jewish history I have never heard much about. Some LGBTQ thrown in as well. And Redheads! I love the part in the back about the author and what inspired the story with photos. Wish all books would do that. SPOILER ALERT: I was very disappointed that she didn't get closure with her brother or learn the truth about her parents by the end of the story. Those were major plot lines that didn't get a resolution.
