November Book of the Month
Those Who Save Us
By Jenna Blum
We had a fun night at this month's book club! We met at a Tapas restaurant and enjoyed lots of red wine sangria! I think this was a book that we all really liked. It was definitely well-written and also written from an interesting perspective. This book is written from the perspective of a young woman living in Nazi Germany who has a daughter with a Jewish man and then does what she has to do to keep the two of them alive through the war. The book is also written from the perspective of the daughter when she is a grown woman and how she sees her mother and her journey to understand her mother, who refuses to ever talk about their life in Germany. There were of course stories of the Holocaust that were horrible to read and that accurately portrayed the gruesomeness of the war. We could not believe people could have treated others so awfully and are hoping that our mentality is common among our generation and that the world will only get more and more tolerant and embrace the difference among us.
