Title: Haven't I read this before?
Review: Seems to me that another book I read by this author had many of the same themes. She writes well enough, and there are some moments in this book that I found disturbing, particularly as some of my own family members were victims of the Nazi occupation in Ukraine. They and many other survivors of the Third Reich (and of the Soviets, who were worse)have accurately reported on how many millions of Ukrainians were enslaved or murdered by both regimes. Anyway, I put this book down feeling as if this author has written much of this before. Just can't remember where. So I don't rate it as highly as some other books I have read about the Holocaust. In terms of personal memoirs I recommend Stefan Petelycky's Into Auschwitz, For Ukraine. It's the true story of a Holocaust survivor, Auschwitz #154922, and a Ukrainian patriot. Quite au contraire to the usual prejudiced stereotypes about Ukrainians as collaborators.
