Defiance, but yet Determined to Live
While I have not yet finished Defiance, I did see the movie and highly recommend both. With the book, it is well written with quite a bit of detail, but not enough to get bogged down in. The author makes you feel as if you are there in person, and that the people within are just that, real people, and not just names on a page, and for me, that is always a seller, (and which goes to compliment the author in her writing ability)! With the more I read, as this is another place/time than the attic of Anne Frank, or the Warsaw Ghetto, etc., the Jews know how to mobilize with everyone doing what they can do best, or even just what needs done. No service, or avenue of learning, is done without, which is not only admirable, but awesome considering the handicaps of the circumstances! How much we can learn from those who have experienced hardship!
