Stranger at the Wedding Book

I cannot imagine what it must have been like to have your world turned upside down in the way it did to these people. Imagine your government suddenly targeting you for torture and death merely because of your race or heritage.

The personal stories recounted put a human face on the holocaust (or rather the Shoah.) Too often it is forgotten that people simply living their lives suddenly had those lives stolen from them by "authorities" and they were labeled criminals. "One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic." - Joseph Stalin once said and unfortunately,that is how we tend to look at such mass killing. Perhaps it is a defense mechanism. "Schindler's Legacy" makes the reader remember that these were people just like our own families, friends and loved ones.

I highly recommend this book especially for younger adults and teens so that they are properly informed on just what hate and divisiveness can do to human beings. We are ALL God's children and our charge is to get along with one another, not kill one another.
