Facing History and Ourselves: I Promised I Would Tell

Rating:
Summary: Somewhat sparse but enjoyable
Review: As far as Holocaust stories go, Sonia's is fairly short and interspersed with poetry rather than presenting the full facts and memories. The book is more appropriate for a younger audience, though mature readers may appreciate the simply-worded poetry as well. I had the privilege of meeting Sonia in 2001 through a small inter-faith dialogue group and enjoyed hearing her story in her own words.

Summary: A MUST READ
Review: THERE IS ONLY A RELATIVE HANDFUL OF HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS STILL ALIVE, AND I WISH THEY WOULD RECORD THEIR STORY AS SONIA WEITZ DID, AS A WAY OF MAKING SURE THE HOLOCAUST IS NOT FORGOTTEN. IT ALSO DETAILS HOW A PERSON CAN LIVE THROUGH THE MOST INHUMANE INCIDENT IN RECORDED HISTORY, AND GROW OUT OF IT WITH A SENSE OF DETERMINATION, WARMTH AND LOVE. IT SHOULD BE ON THE SHELVES OF EVERY PUBLIC AND SCHOOL LIBRARY IN THE NATION.

Summary: An Amazing Story of a Holocaust Survivor
Review: This incredible and devestating tale of Sonia Weitz and her family depicted the horror of the Holocaust and what it was really like for the Jewish population in Europe. I thought this book was very well written and the poetry all brought insight to what was happening back then.
