I Will Protect You: A True Story of Twins Who Survived Auschwitz by Eva Mozes Kor
5.0
This is a book that I plan on buying and making my kids read. Told from the perspective of Eva Mozes Kor as a young child, with her twin sister, Miriam--I Will Protect You is Eva's story of how she vowed to protect her sister in the midst of the Holocaust.
Eva and Miriam were just two of the twins taken for experiments by Dr. Mengele at Auschwitz. At the time the girls were merely nine years old, taken from their father, mother, and two sisters, and were subjected to horrible, life-altering experiments.
The whole point of Eva's life in her later years was to educate people of what the Holocaust was really like. It was to help people understand so that history wouldn't be repeated.
This book, although geared for younger readers, is appropriate for all ages. It definitely made me feel--sadness, anger, grief... And it will be a book I suggest to anyone who would like to know more about the horrors of the holocaust.
