Book Review of Skeletons at the Feast

Skeletons at the Feast


A very powerful and moving look at a German family fleeing the Russian army's advance at the end of WWII. Based somewhat on a true story taken from a holocaust survivor's diary. It covers the viewpoints f the East Germans fleeing, a French Jewish woman and how her group of young women were tortured and killed, an escaped Jewish man who hides by killing German and then Russian soldiers and assuming their identities, a Scottish POW. It really drew me in.
