Where Butterflies Go
by Debra Doxer
4/5 stars
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Where Butterflies Go is a story of the persecution and resistance of the Jews in Poland, and how some of them move on with their lives after the war ends.
Meira, the main character, her husband, and daughter live in Poland and are affected by the onslaught of Nazi violence and hatred. Meira has great skill as a seamstress since her Dad was a tailor. The Nazis discover this, and come to have their uniforms repaired. When the Nazis ship out the Jews, she is recognized and sent to a camp called Poniotowa to make uniforms for Nazi scum.
What happens at the end of the war is tragic, and Meira manages to escape and ultimately make it to America.
Her story of how she survives and comes to thrive in the US, and becomes a speaker for a Jewish organization is inspiring.
WE MUST NEVER FORGET! She helps people to understand the true horrors of the war and the ugly details of Hitler's final solution.
BEWARE FASCISM - whether in 1939 or in 2020!
This was a very compelling story and I recommend it.
Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for this honest review
