5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful book to read and learn about the Holocaust,
By Rosslyn (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: To Vanquish the Dragon (Hardcover)
I was assigned this book for a Jewish History report. After reading about the author's experience, her strength and the courage of the "Zehnerschaft"- the group of 10 Beth Jacob girls, I began to feel like I could better myself in the way they did. When starved and tired from a full day's work, they would refuse the small amount of food that was given to them, thereby abiding by the laws of Kashrus. These 10 girls never lost faith in God and survived because of their hope to return to Israel. In my opinion, this book is a remarkable read and a good way to learn about the many concentration camps the Jews went through and preserve the history of the six million innocent people who perished by the hands of the Germans.

4.0 out of 5 stars
An amazing story of courage and kindness in a world gone mad,
By Shmuel Silnnksy (ssilinsky@aish.edu) (Jerusalem, Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: To Vanquish the Dragon (Hardcover)
Pearl Benisch recounts her personal experiences as a teen-aged girl during the Holocaust, which tossed her from horror to horror. Yet she maintains a level of humanity and courage that fills the reader with hope and awe. The girls in this book were far superior to the supposedly "master race" that tried so hard to break them.This is moving and thought-provoking reading for anyone. I highly recommend it. |
