Reviews

This is a book which makes incomprehensible crimes experienceable. As if the atrocities of the Shoah were not enough, the abused bodies and souls of the persons given voice in this book were tarnished through sexual abuse. Reading their narratives one comes to rediscover the limits of suffering and the incredible power and resiliency of the narrators. One can feel their breath on one's skin, and find solace in their incredible ability to both raise a monument of suffering for those who are not with us and one of courage and hope for those who are. My father's words...echoed throughout the book: 'I wish you, my son, to never have to suffer what you can endure.' -- Zvi Eisikovits, professor of social welfare and director, Center for the Study of Society, University of Haifa
