An amazing true story of the survival of Stephen Nasser, called Pista, a 14 year old Hungarian boy through the Holocaust. Swept away with his older brother Andris to Auschwitz the two inspire and care for each other. Even after death the older brother continues to look after little Pista, his younger brother. Unable to put the book down I found both inspiration and education as well as a profound gratitude for the bonds of family.

The ultimately inspiring story of a Christian family who sheltered Jews during the Nazi occupation in Holland. Because of this, they suffered the worst consequences imaginable ~ incarceration and death in the concentration camps. Corrie ten Boom is my example of extreme courage and extreme forgiveness, because after miraculously surviving, she became even stronger in her faith, faced those who killed her family, and forgave them completely.
