I absolutely LOVED Code Name Verity<\/em><\/a>, so I had a feeling that I would enjoy this book too.\u00a0 Enjoy feels like a wrong word to use, though, considering all the terrible things that happen.\u00a0 The story is narrated by young Rose Justice, an American ATA pilot who got lost, landed in the wrong airfield, and ended up a Nazi prisoner in the Ravensbr\u00fcck concentration camp.\u00a0 Though there was so much more to the Holocaust than Rose ever could have seen or experienced in her abbreviated stay in the one small portion of that one particular women\u2019s camp, the horrors still added up rather quickly.\u00a0 I was especially sickened to hear the details behind the medical experiments that were done on the \u201cRavensbr\u00fcck Rabbits.\u201d\u00a0 I think readers who haven\u2019t yet learned about the Nazi doctors and the Nuremburg Trials may find these details especially disturbing, since I found it hard to listen to even though I already knew a lot of what had been done.\u00a0 Despite the darkness she revealed, though, I found it heartening that Wein managed to shine a spotlight on the friendship, generosity, and hope that helped so many people survive against the odds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
