It was Maimonides that said that the Medabrim erred grossly in imaginging an iron ship flying through the air.

My wife and I just watched this movie and were so impacted by it. Neither of us had a dry eye. As the parents of a daughter and son who absolutely adore one another, this story resonated at a level like no other.
Thank you for this story and the indelible imprint it has left on our lives. We will live our lives with a greater appreciation of love, family, peace and most importantly standing up for what is right–which can become somewhat blurred when the world around us is so messed up. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Comment on Our Holocausts: Aren’t we all victims, really? by Virginia lleee Hines

Reich is brave to take on this stance of irony, ridicule, questioning. More power to her. And isn’t humour often the best way to make a point.. Yes, the Holocaust has had long standing consequences for so many of us in such divergent twists of fate. Tova Reich has gone further into deep water than others have. She has shaken me up, made me stop and think. Isn’t this a best gift — to find something so new, so daring. And as time goes by what new twists will surface — that’s one thought I’ve had. What comes next? Reich is a harbinger for us.

Why would they schedule to show this film on a Friday? Most people work and then Shabbat begins. Bad timing.

i read this book like the other readers quite quickly as i could not put it down. And i just went to see the movie this past weekend which was very well done! I found the story very moving and in fact life changing. I can’t even imagine going through what those folks had to. Kind of puts life in perspective. Thank you for writing it, and i hope to read many more of your books!

Stop!

NO! Stop it, just because she lied doesn’t change the reality of the holocaust. Yes, it was wrong for her to lie but don’t let that change your view on the holocaust as a whole.

There are no words I can use to adequately describe the impact this book and then the movie has had on my wife and myself. I, as a Jewish man, have read many holocaust books, but this book, reducing it to the experience of one little French Jewish girl caught in the Val d’hiv roundup, her subsequent physical escape but not psychological escape, from the horrors of the holocaust reached a spot in me that had never before been touched. Ms. De Rosnay belongs in the ranks of Elie Weisel and Primo Levi as a chronicler of the holocaust. I wonder if the book has been translated into Hebrew. I know of many Israeli’s who would like to read it, but do not read English well enough to do so.
