The Boy Who Followed His Father Into Auschwitz | 
pickI've read a lot of Holocaust literature & there's not a single survivors' story that doesn't deserve to be told & this one is no exception. What is unique about it is the remarkable relationship between the father & son - juxtaposed against the horrors & brutality of the camps, it shines with the light of love & hope & resilience & righteousness in the midst of so much suffering & loss. Their joy in each other in the face of death is so moving.

A well written true story that was professionally researched. This was a nonfiction history story about a family's experiences during World War II, it follows father and son as they are sent to concentration camps together. Powerful read about strength, love, and survival.
Book Spin Pick: THE BOY WHO FOLLOWED HIS FATHER INTO AUSCHWITZ by JEREMY DRONFIELD - I was really struggling with my last pick, the writing was too formal for me and it centered around a womans loss. Possibly something for another time? I've been wanting to read this one for awhile and love Historical Fiction, happy with this spin.
Thank you to @tywalker416 for the wonderful gifts!! I‘m sorry for not posting my #canuckchristmasswap earlier; I was busy most of the 24th and 25th.
Day 1 of #12booksof2020 Probably a sleeper hit for me. The book was an emotional roller coaster at times, but was eye opening. Not a 5 star book, but was close.
My #bookspinbingo card for November. Got 2 bingos and 18 books read total and 14 books read from my #bookspin list, with both my #bookspin and #doublespin books done for the month. And yep all the books u saw reviews for were on my #bookspin list, except for my free spaces. My favourite books for the month were the tagged book and The Exiles by Christina Baker Kline.
pick4⭐️ Excellent book; I really liked how detailed the author was able to get, despite some details being a bit sketchy and some being gruesome. An excellent portrait of a father and son who each survived 3 different concentration camps in Central Europe (each of them notorious in their own way). I would have liked more about Edith and Kurt. #2020 #nonfiction #history #holocaust #ww2 #bookreview #bookstagram

pickThe atrocities of the Holocaust was something that continues to haunt me, especially after visiting a few of the real life sites in a couple of my Europe trips. This book was a tough read, but a good one. I implore everyone, who is looking for a good read relating to the Holocaust to pick this book up.
#nowreading this! Bought this while on a trip to Auckland, New Zealand. Such good reviews on Goodreads too! ❤️
pickWhat a phenomenal book this was! I have read quite a few books on the topic of the Holocaust, but this is by far the absolute best book of it's kind I have ever read. What makes this book even more distinguishable is the fact that it is a True Story, every fact, every event, every chapter all really happened. It's a history book, written in a novel form, and an absolute must read. I feel honour to have read this amazing story.
I'm about halfway through this book, and so far, this must be one of the best Holocaust books I have ever read. It tells the true story of a father and son that survived the Holocaust. The entire book is extremely well researched and every word is based on actual events. An absolute must-read for any Holocaust book fan.
