Boring, boring, boring novel about Holocaust survivors forging new lives for themselves in post-war Europe and America. I only got through the first four or five chapters before I had to call it quits. Recommended for dedicated readers of Holocaust and post-Holocaust fiction only.
For many schoolchildren, Holocaust survivors were rescued by the Allies, and they lived happily ever after. This is the extent to which history books discuss the plight of the Jews and other political prisoners deemed unworthy to survive by the Nazi regime. Ghita Schwartz’ Displaced Persons disabuse...
To be honest...this book bored the living daylights out of me! It was one that I absolutely had to force myself to finish, which was sad because I thought it would be totally different.
