This book is an awesome read! If you have a Kindle or Kindle reader on your laptop it was free as of last night. The book comes from the diaries, notes, and photos kept by Nonna Bannister as she grew up in Russia and during her years in German Concentration Camps. Nonna remained silent about all she had seen and lived through until very late in her life. After her death her husband, children and their mates worked to publish her works. Nonna, a very intelligent woman knew that sometime all that she had seen and lived through needed to be told to aid in such atrocities not being repeated. I found this through the site posted by Cora Hendricks on Gen *Newbie: * http://www.ereaderiq.com/free/ * * *Marilyn * -- "If you don't get outside every day, even for a minute, you have not appreciated what God has done. It makes you grateful for our surroundings, and it starts your day differently." Johnny Cash
