Sister in Sorrow

Sister in Sorrow: Life Histories of Female Holocaust Survivors from Hungary

by Ilana Rosen

As I was browsing through the website of the USHMM shop, I came across this book that tells the story of thirteen women that survived the Holocaust. Rosen's research reveals not only the personal horrors of these women but also how they ways in which they cope with their memories.

I feel that reading personal memoirs of those who have endured such a past that we today can only imagine is an important way to fully understand the emotions behind any situation.
