Tory's Tuesday is a glimpse at a time and place we must never forget and a love that could never die. We've all heard of the atrocities of the Nazi Holocaust, but it always seems to be distant. It's almost unreal to people in the modern age. Tory's Tuesday brings the true horror to life but balances it with a love between two women that overpowers even the Nazi's stranglehold on life and death. This book tells of the horrid conditions, daily slaughters, and evil cruelty that the men and women of the death camps had to endure. The pain suddenly seems all too real, as the two women watch friends and family die in grusome and inhumane ways. It takes the sheer force of their love for each other to survive this hell. It's a love that is unconditional in nature and innocent as a newborn. It's truly humbling to read this and realize that we have the potential for such bloodthirsty actions. I had never read anything by this author before this book, but I will certainly be looking for more of her work now.

Wow. I finished this book in 1 day. As a Jew it was hard for me to read about horrors that went on, as a woman and a lesbian I was proud to be part of the same community these characters belong to. I cannot even imagine the amount of love and bravery it took to survive. You must read this book if just to have a glance at our history but you will find so much more.

This book is definitely one of my favorites!!! It's realistic, sad, and interesting. The writer does such an outstanding job of portraying the hardships that the characters experience that anyone who has a heart will cry while reading this book.
