Unforgettable Love Story in Dark History

There comes a novel that doesn't just change you as a reader, writer but as a Human as a whole like this one. I didn't cry in sorrow as I expected that I would but sat in Absolute silence for the rest of the day. But from the beginning to end, I understood every word, every line by line, page by page ; chapter by chapter until I reached the end.

An Extraordinary life that two individuals meant to be in life together and went through to not only survive the timeframe in history where they were meant to be erased. That,

"What made them who they are in DNA; being Jewish and individuals wanted not only them but a whole race to be removed from history".

To where They end up after all, their hardships to find each other afterwards and have all the love in the world; each day is beautiful as the next, sunshine or not building their home together.

I feel Lale and Gita in the presence of the wind as on my heart without even meeting them even tho it feels like I knew them.

Leaving a mark on my heart; survival I understand not in the way they lived their freedom and innocents taken away in one second to death. Especially Lale, smartest and bravest man to know how to survive and give anything he had to others knowing it's another risk on top it all. I think he had many lives as a cat but I think luck and God were on his side to come out on the other side of that dark time to Share this truth of his and Gita life above it all. I can't imagine those three years felt like everyday and night to either of them and to all the Jews, Hungarians and the Romainis in those camps. Building and living in places where they weren't meant to die; in the end. Living with those painful memories is beyond unimaginable but understood. Their love story of their relationship alone is just extractory remarkable even if in the place where they were meant to die but also living together for the rest of their lives as much love beyond what only a couple could hope for in life. I don't think Lale should feel guilty; he was surviving and providing more food for others to also survive. And Pepan is the one who saved him and gave him the opportunity to work and hurt people less then another person would. He wasn't alone in providing more to others, the girls that worked in the Canada unit risked their lives to provide the currency to make deals.

I hope they are happy where ever they are and with those they have lost. And to their son ; I hope he knows he as the most remarkable parents in the world to live through and survived ." If you wake up in the morning, it is a good day"- Lale Sokolov They were the Sunshine in that darkness for everyone then and to those who read their story now.

I believe everything happens for a reason no matter what it is or what occurs there is good after it all. I do believe Lale had more lives, strength then anyone to live, we should all amount to that.

I love the lovely painting of the romany women painting followed them to their adventures to different homes from Slovakia, I like to think the woman in the painting is Nadya watching over them.I don't want to give anymore away then I have , it's definitely a novel to read and not be forgotten about and to share. I think it a piece of history that should be in schools and talked about in depth like Lale said himself; so it won't happen again.

If you haven't read one Holocaust story before please read this one.
