In 1942, during WWII, mothers were forced to make the most impossible decision, to give up their children in a hope for their survival. 108 children were smuggled from France by the sheer determination and will power of a select few who wanted to save as many lives as they could from the Nazi regime.
In 1992, Valérie Portheret, a law student working on her thesis, stumbled across the 108+ names written in a documentation at Chateau de Peyrins. This event leads Portheret on a 25 year adventure to find all 108 children to right the wrongs that many would like to forget from the Holocaust.
Overall rating 5/5
The dual timeline is an exquisite way to give voices to the victims of such atrocities. This book is a reminder of how a few who fight for what is right can lead to a lasting impact that can span for decades. Thank you to writers like Escobar who remind us of these historical events and the suh brave individuals.
