About this ebook
IRENE GUT WAS just 17 in 1939, when the Germans and Russians devoured her native Poland. Just a girl, really. But a girl who saw evil and chose to defy it.

I appreciated the conclusions about the will of God in this book. I have wondered about his actions or seemingly lack of actions in the Holocaust.
