World opinion has rightly condemned the shooting of protestors by Arab dictators. Yet, exept for Jehovah's Witnesses and a few other brave souls, the world was silent when six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis. Each one of the six million was an individual - with a name, with a family, with friends - as this book so vividly reminds us. These letters which her parents - until they too were killed - so ingenuously sent to Ruth, who had come to Britain with the Kindertransport, help us to feel the personal heartbreak and tragedy.
