Clara's War: One Girl's Story of Survival

This book has been on my shelf for a few years, being passed over for other books. I knew I wanted to read it, but it's about the war, so I knew it would probably be heart-wrenching. I finally decided it was time. I would read it and when I was done, I would post it. I can't do it. I will have to read it at least once more. Mrs. Kramer couldn't have written a more hypnotic, enthralling book. I feel truly grateful to her for sharing her pain, her grief, her bravery; and the simple, pure goodness in a man who was so obviously human, with his weaknesses and failings, but to 18 Jews in Zolkiew, Poland, was undeniably a saint. If you can find this book, you need to read it. I'm sorry I can't share mine yet.
