Impossible Escape


 “Impossible Escape: A True Story of Survival and Heroism in Nazi Europe” by Steve Sheinkin
Published by Roaring Brook Press
 
This is a YA, and I do hope our youth takes a moment to read it.  It’s very well done and reads more like a novel than a textbook, which is always nice.  I read/listen to a lot of historical fiction and non-fiction related to WWII and the Holocaust and yet I still learned something new from this book.  If you don’t know who Rudolf Vrba is, look him up (or just read this book).  It’s a name everyone should know, and I’m embarrassed to say, I didn’t.  He’s a true hero to many.
