Never read it what is it about?
I’m sure it’s about more than just this, but the most famous aspect is that one kid is safe and the other is going to be sent to the Nazi gas chamber and the mother has to pick which.
During the Holocaust, a woman has to choose which of her two young children will live.
Meryl Streep (yeah, we all hate her) played the lead roll in the movie. The book was just shattering to me - I read it in High School - but then, I never did have to make a choice like that.
Members of the Socialist Democrat Party ask women to make that awful choice every day and millions of times OVER every year! :(
