Still, there’s no getting around what an astounding story this is. In the spirit of Gone With the Wind, this is a true tale of people caught up in the pulverizing sweep of history, as well as of survival under the most trying circumstances imaginable. |website=jewishbookcouncil.org |publisher=Jewish Book Council |accessdate=March 6, 2019}} External links
