Why read it?
1 author picked We Don't Talk about That as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I identify with many of the recorded events in this book, and I feel fortunate not to have had the same horrors in my life. I have the greatest admiration for the young woman who, witnessing the plunder and rape of everyone she knew and loved at age twelve, showed tremendous courage and determination while helping her mother get her family through incredible hardships.

From Dorothy's list on WWII impact on German, Jewish families.
