The Beautiful Mrs. Seidenman | 
pick#ReadAroundtheWorld #Poland Not a holiday read, but a good one. Our Mrs Seidenman is not so much the main character as the pivot point around which a dozen or so players are introduced to us as the Warsaw ghetto crumbles in 1943. We see the impact on them now, but then the author shows us their whole life‘s trajectory and sometimes their death. In this way we are shown the threads of everyday people‘s lives in the web of historic moments.
