Within These Walls of Sorrow

Because of its subject matter, this book was extremely difficult to read, but the story was worth every second.

Barratt is a master at educating readers about the past while also putting human faces and emotions to events often regulated to the pages of textbooks. Transportive, moving, and skillfully written, Within These Walls of Sorrow is the most poignant account of the Holocaust—both the tragedy of collective evil and the triumph of individual good—I have ever read.
