WONDERFUL book, beautifully written about the Hungarian Jews during WW-2 The story about them is not very well known as they were more fortunate than the Jews of the rest of Europe since they were allowed to work and own property for a short time.
The men were forced to work in the "Munkaszolgalat", which was a Labor Service required of Jewish men who were prohibited from serving in the regular Armed Forces. They were hardly fed, clothes in rags, deprived of boots, sometimes doused with water and made to stand still until ice formed on their chin in below zero weather.
This book was hard to take at times, very realistic, troubling and heartbreaking. However, there is a beautiful love story woven throughout the book that will warm your heart. The author did an amazing job researching historical facts and created a story that will stay with you for a long time and haunt you.
Highly recommended!
