Welcome to Litsy!

I was lucky enough to have Mr Spanjaard speak to my junior high in the mid 1980‘s. This is a stunning memoir of a boy living in Amsterdam during the German invasion and then forced into a work camp. Written after his liberation while living as a teenager in a military school it has the spare language you‘d expect from someone so young with little bits of humor. It also contains photos and illustrations.

Absolutely incredible. The strength and resilience of some humans is mind boggling.

This looks like an interesting book.

A truly incredible story. A review won‘t do this justice, you simply must read it yourself!

Dr. Rudolf Rudolf Vrba survived to save. We read to remember. We read to never forget.

This is an important story, covering almost all of Dita‘s life rather than just her experience during WWII. It describes her early life, her time in a ghetto and concentration camps, her adjustment after leaving the concentration camp, and her later life in Israel. However, it didn‘t demand my attention and would have been easy for me to set aside.

What I great book, I have read lots of survivors stories from the Holocaust but never really had the opportunity to focus on the children. I read the book Irene's Childrens and it talks about how they saved childrens but they never go into detail an what happen to them, to me this is like the other side of the coin. It is sad as it is told by the surviving children some that last all family members.
