Rendition As Books All My Love, Detrick (All My Love, Detrick #1)
When I was a child my mother had a black suitcase in the basement. She forbid me to look inside. When I was alone one afternoon I rushed to open the valise. Inside I found pictures and letters. The letters were written in a foreign language. Later I would learn that they were in German. I would also come to learn that my mother's entire extended family had perished under the Nazi Regimen and that these few items were all she had left of them. She had tried to shelter me, but it was not sheltering that I needed. It was information. I learned that my father, being Romany, had also suffered great loss during the rule of the Third Reich. I began to be interested in the Holocaust and what happened. For many years I studied and researched. Then one night at four in the morning I woke up and began to write. I wrote this novel. This was the first of many on the subject. Although this is a dark time in the history of mankind, it was also a time when ordinary people stood up to prove themselves heroes. And like the tiny shoots of grass that grow up out of the cracks in the sidewalk, Love, Life, Compassion...and an entire race of people would prevail.

I love to read books like these regarding the holocaust. So much is written but mainly they are written by people that survived. While I enjoy those too, I like to read the books that have fictious characters but are historically accurate and this is one of those books! I am not going to spoil the ending but I cried like a baby and wondered why the author chose the ending to end that way? Then my logical self explores and realizes that most stories based on the holocaust are ugly andWhen I was a child my mother had a black suitcase in the basement. She forbid me to look inside.

----------------------------------ETA: I am absolutely fed up with having to justify my reviews about books like this to fans of the "holocaust romance/erotica genre". Have the nicety and stay on your own review space. Leave mine alone! Further comments arguing with my negative take of such dreck will be deleted.----------------------------------The author needs to book a 101-course in history and learn how to do research. This is abusing the holocaust for a check in the bank.
First of all, please keep in mind that I am a crotchety old man fast approaching 73. My usual authors are writers like Follett, Jack Higgins, Robert Parker, Baldacci, Thor and Connelly. In other words, "Manly Men" type writers. I enjoy hard-boiled detective novels, WW2 novels that pull no punches and hard-hitting action. I have never, to my knowledge, read a "Romance" novel in my life. Now...with all that said, Let me tell you that "All My Love, Detrick" is a book I could NOT put down! I guess
This book seemed more suited for YA readers, however the history of German Jewry during the 1930's wasn't well researched and there were numerous mistakes in depicting how they lived. The editing was poor and so much of this story was over simplified. Really not a good adult read.
Given To Me For An Honest ReviewAll My Love, Detrick: A Holocaust Novel by Roberta Kagan is a must read by all. It shows the beginning of the Holocaust from the eyes of the people involved. This book will grab you and hold you down. You will watch the pages turn and turn and turn some more until you reach the end. It is that good. There are many twists and turns. It is a love story between Detrick, a German and Leah a Jewish woman. There love and relationship was illegal and they both could have
