It is certainly appalling what human beings can do to other human beings. Roberta Kagan has graphically described it as such in this second book of the Michal's Destiny Series and it makes my heart cry. The nightmare that happened to the Jewish people in Hitler's Germany certainly shook families to their roots. Taavi, Michal, Alina and Gilde bore the brunt of it all. The title is so very appropo - A Family Shattered! Indeed.
I feel this work of historical fiction is not for the weak at heart. I cannot say I actually enjoyed this book due to the nature of the narrative but it is necessary for the story to be told. To know and realize all that happened to the various 'outcasts' of society and the impact on their 'innocent' Aryan citizens ... the horrors of reality.
