Every single life experience of World War II was epic in its own way and every WWII memoir is unique…and uniquely inspiring. The inconceivable kindness, resilience, and optimism so often seen in victims of war despite the unimaginable horrors imparts a special conscientious strength to the reader. Written by a reporter, Little Bird of Auschwitz relays lots of interesting history along with a bracing personal account. The incredible book is made even more poignant by the reporter being the Holocaust survivor's son, trying to record her memories as dementia is taking them all away.
