Summary: history as cruel as people
Review: a remarkable work israel bernbaum has produced by this book. after having escaped the warsaw ghetto, he fled to the sowiet union and later to paris and in the end went to the usa, he found the courage and the personality to describe the horror and the unbelievable pain in simple words and very strong pictures. this book, addressed to his children turns out to be an essential for all children anywhere in the world. As a very personal view at the fate of the tremendous number of jewish people suffering, fighting and dying in the warsaw ghetto, he still ends up without hatred. instead he is pleading for respect against every person regardless of nationality, race, colour or religion. small wonder former president of germany, richard von weizsäcker, expressed utmost respect for the book to isarel bernbaum. the book was awarded the german youth book price of the year 1995.in my opinion this book should be made an item of all relevant history lessons anywhere in the world.
