book

a book to reccomend...

still aliv- by ruth klug-r
(sorry bout the hyphens. do not wanna be googled and am applying primitive IT knowledge. replace - with e)

it arouses a... spectrum of emotions let's just put it this way.
and not just sentimental bullshit. which the author hates.
but at the same time... you dont just blindly accept what she says.
but question it. some of her words might... for the lack of a better word... annoy you. but... it's just a very very honest and insightful read...

and i dont think ive been so... emotional at the end of it as i have been by any other.
not only because she talks of her persecution with regards to being a Jew and the holocaust.
there's no sympathy involved here.
but the epilogue. speaking as a human being here.
just makes you feel sad.
