Brisko: a true tale of Holocaust survival

This is a story of never loosing hope, even in the hardest of times. A story of ‘Kindness Matters’ ...people doing acts of kindness can and Often do make all the difference. It is a story of unbelievable fear and of wrong doing in a magnitude that is still to this day...so hard to imagine, let alone comprehend especially from a child’s point of view.

This is a true story! I loved the book and I also had my 13 year old son read it. Very important not to forget what happened.

It was hope that kept this family from the fires of the Nazis. The father made keeping his family safe his highest priority, even if it meant giving a daughter to a German family. A poor farmer who for no,other reason than this family were fellow human beings, risked his life and the lives of,his family by hiding the family in his attic and then a cramped haystack, where ironically, German. Soldiers and their horses would also stay. This is a true story of oppression and forgiveness and of course, the ultimate revenge, having successful children and grandchildren to carry on Jewish culture.

This book is different from others I have read about the dramatic lives the jews had to endure to survive Hitler's Germany. I learned things that I had never heard of before. The way these people survived is so sad. Thank God for people like the Ukrainia farmer who did what he could to help these people. It's an amazing story, and I highly recommend it.

Sad story but great book. bougher bc I am going to hear the autor at an event

After reading so many stories" about the Hallocaust and the Nazies,' inhumanity I wanted to read about a dog. Dogs are without guil and their love is unconditional. I wanted more meat on this story; more interaction between the dog-it's owner and the hidden people. I think dogs can be made to understand anything I enjoyed the story.I

Spoken to a new generation that needs to know about history and hopefully will not allow it to repeat.. anywhere to anyone. Written for a group of students to hear it in their language that also reverberates in all our souls.

This is a short no-frills story of how a little girl managed to survive the Holocaust. She manages to capture the horrors and the hope and inner strength that allowed her to survive.

Really enjoyed this book
