Bending Toward The Sun
I want to thank Julie with FSB Associates for sending me a copy of this book to review. My review Bending Toward the Sun is a heart-wrenching, emotional memoir. Leslie Gilbert-Lurie with the help of her mother, Rita Lurie, shares their story of surviving through hell and back. When Rita was just five years old, her family as well as their friends received orders from the Gestapo to report to the train station, as they were to be deported from their home town of Urzejowice in Poland. Rita, her family and their relatives vanished through the night. They left behind their home and possessions to seek safety from the Germans. Rita’s family comes upon a good friend. His name is Stashik Grajolski. For two years Rita and about eleven other family members lived in Mr. and Mrs. Grajolski’s attic. They eventually were able to make their way out of Poland and set foot on American soil. Bending Toward the Sun tells this amazing story of courage, sadness, and family. I like how this book was broken...
