Comment On Containing Books Mila 18

** NOTE: Some spoilers included in review of novel. ** This novel was required reading for a course I'm currently taking on the Holocaust. In college, I minored in history because of my love for the subject, but despite my previous knowledge about WWII and the Holocaust, my knowledge of the Warsaw Ghetto was limited to a cursory understanding of the uprising that occurred in the spring of 1943. As a result, I was looking forward to reading Uriss novel on the subject. My first thought was how

Historical fiction by Leon Uris first published 1961 this audio recording released 2009.This is the retelling of the horror that was the Warsaw Ghetto and more pacifically the uprising by the Jews who were held prisoner within the ghetto.The bravery, determination and the willingness to self sacrifice for the greater cause shown by the oppressed Jewish people is nothing short of inspirational. For a people whose very existence is steeped in forbearance this uprising was unprecedented. The

Very powerful novel about the Warsaw Ghetto and the Jewish Uprising there during WWII. I've read quite a bit about the Holocaust but this is the first novel I've read about the Warsaw Ghetto and the courageous fighters who faced the Nazis with limited weapons including homemade bombs and their bare hands. This novel by Uris was sweeping in scope telling the story of Poland and Warsaw before the German invasion in 1939 and through the horrors of the ghetto. The novel focuses on a group of people

Ok. Ok. Deep breaths. I'm going to try really, really hard to not get overly worked up here. It's entirely possible, that if you know nothing about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, if you have never read any literary version of the Holocaust (SOPHIE'S CHOICE AHEM COUGH COUGH), and/or if you had forgotten about the many and varied injustices of World War II, this book will present itself as new, exciting, and maybe even revelatory to you. I don't have any personal foothold on these events, but (big

A work of historical fiction, this novel is both informative and mind boggling. I learned a wealth of information about the situation of Jews in and around Warsaw before and during WW II and was reminded to "never forget." I used the term mind boggling because enjoyable is too light of an adjective to describe such horror juxtaposed to kindness, love to hate, and good to evil.One of the many things I enjoy about Uris's books is the way he describes and develops his characters and the various



This began like one of those 1980s epic TV series when the subject matter is fascinating but the script and acting awful. The author gets carried away with every character's back story and he shows us in superfluous and often syrupy detail scenes that could have been told in a sentence or two. However once he had settled into his grove and the war narrative began it was a compelling read. He gives us the Warsaw Ghetto from the perspective of both the Jews and the Nazis with the odd Pole thrown
