I just finished this book that was highly recommended in another Facebook reading group. It's even better than "Salt in the Sea" by the same author and again I was unaware to this extent of the subject matter. Twenty million lives lost!! When one thinks of genocide the Holocaust comes immediately to mind and Hitler. Well Stalin wasn't far behind!
It will forever hold a place in my memories and as a favored reading experience.
It's a work of fiction but based on facts and real stories from actual survivors. Imagine being targeted and sent to labor camps in Siberia because you are educated, a doctor, a teacher, stand up for what is right or your freedom, voice your opinion, and to dumb down and control a nation by fear and force tactics!
It happened.
