Beautiful and moving. For almost two years since I read a book that moves me so much ... the story it tells and the central theme that is very hard but the writer knows how to handle a delicate way that even Niñ ; years from certainage (10 years) I think you can read unfinished traumatized. Gives you understand the situations of violence without show or a scene of fights, shootings and crudities, simplente with a detailed and very careful suggests what we know happened in those concentration camps. The finish is very subtle and I started more than a tear of sadness and a bitter smile but when you close the book, you realize that evil has left the body, so that has been kept the whole story.
you is impossible not to think about how could these terrible things happen.
