Title: DEAR ESTHER
Review: DEAR ESTHER should be required reading in every public school in America, and a staple in every college course in political science and history. Author Richard Rashke has fashioned young Esther Raab's escape from eastern Poland's Sobibor death camp into the quintessential survival tale of World War II, e.g., she stepped on dead bodies to avoid the land mines, sustaining a Nazi bullet wound to her head. In this evocative narrative, Rashke has created an artistic coup as well as a powerful epiphany for freedom seekers today in this mesmerizing account of the human condition under siege. Letters from children deeply touched by Esther's story reveal inspiring love, empathy, and cogent responses to the cruelties she endured and overcame. Splendid five-star achievment by Rashke!
