Stella's Secret

I just finished reading Stella's Secret today, the first-person narrative of holocaust survivor Stella Yollin, as told to my college-chum Jerry. Horrifying but fascinating. As many times as you see or read about what went on then, you still come away non-plussed at the incredible inhumanity exhibited by the Nazis. Stella and her mother survived, though everyone else in their family was killed; the fact of their survival was itself somewhat miraculous.

A short, utltimately uplifting story.

It's horrible to think of my own relatives that were killed, though of course, I'm too young to have known any of them. Hey! There's something I'm too young for? Now THAT'S uplifting!
