In My Hands by Irene Gut Opdyke

In My Hands: Memories of a Holocaust RescuerIn My Hands: Memories of a Holocaust Rescuer by Irene Opdyke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


An amazing memoir of a young Polish girl living 7 years in WWII Poland. She is a young Catholic girl who finds herself taking small steps in helping Jews survive the horrors of Poland and Germany during the war.

This is for mature students since there is mention of the soldiers beating and raping Irene. However it is not told with any detail. She does make some moral decisions. A story of courage and strength.

I read it in two days. It is difficult to put down. Wonderful Read!
