These are stories that must be told and I am glad the Joanne Gilbert wrote this book. These women are remarkable, their stories have to be told and I’m glad that they finally were and that they could be an inspiration to others. In Chapter 5 “Lola Lieber” the way Joanne told her story was incredible. Lola Lieber was my Aunt. She is no longer with us, but her telling her story, brought my Aunt back to me, hearing her talk about her experience in World War II, it was as if she was here with me again. This book tells the stories of four truly remarkable women, their courage, their unselfishness and their love for G-d and their determination to carry on no matter what. These four women are true Heroines are would be great role models for any young women. I highly encourage this book to all women, young and old to read. You will never be bored reading this book and yes you will learn something from reading this book. It is an easy read and I would recommend this book also to any educators who are teaching studies about the Holocaust or History Classes. Along with this book, I would highly recommend another author: Ben Lesser, whose, “Living A Life That Matters. From Nazi Nightmare to American Dream,” (Edited by Joanne D. Gilbert) tells a true story about the Holocaust from and different perspective. Ben Lesser was a young boy when war broke out in Poland in 1939 and tells his saga. This book is easy to read, and also has a separate teacher’s guide along with a timeline in the book. These two books are highly recommended to all Holocaust Educators and any teacher who teaches World History.
