Don't Go to Uncle's Wedding: Voices from the Warsaw Ghetto

Rating:
Summary: great for quick overview of the Jewish horror in Warsaw
Review: This book is short but gives good insight to the horror that the Jews of Warsaw suffered in the years of Nazi occupation. First hand reports from diaries and interviews make this a good selection.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This is an inside view of the revolting treatment of Jewish people during the Nazi reign of terror, and the story of those who resisted. The Warsaw Uprising was an underground resistance movement of young people who decided to not go down without a struggle and fight. They did not believe that God wanted them to lay down so they fought an impossible war against their captors.
Incredible stuff.

The book uses letters, documents, and accounts from survivors to document the times. The book serves as a reminder that tolorance and respect for people as individuals is a paramount key to halt man's seemingly inevitable downward spiral into hate and violence. No matter if the scapegoat of the day is Jews, Muslims, Witches, Communists, or terrorists the world needs more respect and peace.
