Reaction to In My Hands

After reading this book I was extremely surprised about how it ended. So much horribly depressing stuff was going on and yet it ended on a happy note. I'm really glad I read this book because it really changed my outlook on the Holocaust altogether. I would recomend anyone to read it. Everything that happend in the book is something people can learn from and all about Irene's heroic duties.

In My Hands by Irene Gut Opdyke

Usually I wouldn't chose to read something about the Holocaust because of all the sad feelings it overwhelms me with. When I heard that this was about a rescuer I decided that I really wanted to get into this book. I wanted to know how it was done and I was happy that this wasn't all about death and destruction. As I began reading I was very surprised at how different it was from so many other Holocaust stories. It made me feel so many different emotions and I became close with Irene as I read on. She did so many amazing things. I really like this book a lot and I am glad that I decided to read it.
