Review (PDF) Good-bye For Always: The Triumph Of The Innocents
There was never a more terrible time for Jews in Europe than from 1938 to 1945. The Nazis had overrun a great deal of the continent, bent on the domination of the world and the annihilation of an entire people. The death camps, unknown to most outside Europe, claimed more than six millions Jews during that time. Some endured -- and most have breathtaking stories of survival. Why they survived when so many perished is a matter of coincidence, luck, the will to live and the courage and sacrifice of many others. The full scope of that sacrifice will never be completely chronicled, it is just too vast. "Good-bye for Always, The Triumph of the Innocents" is the story of the youngest members of the Widerman family, who moved to Paris from Poland, only to be caught up in the horror of the Nazi occupation. In 1942, Cecile and Betty Widerman began a journey into the belly of the worst beast mankind has to offer. For two years they were literally one step ahead of death, as Nazi cruelty sought to envelop them as it had millions of others. How they survived, why they survived and who nearly gave their own lives to protect them is a story of inspiration and will that is sure to live forever.

This is the story of two sisters who were separated from their family when Paris was invaded by the Nazis during WWII. Over their childhood years their circumstances changed as their situation changed. After years of living in various homes and conditions until at last they were adopted by an American couple and they became Americans themselves. A very emotional book and I recommend it highly.
It's just amazing how different every story of the holocaust are....except for the extraordinary strength that the survivors have to live! I just am in awe of the unimanagible hardships they survived. And how some people can go to extraordinary lengths to help and others like a cousin who should have helped tried to take advantage of two children who had already endured the unimanagible!
This true story is something that all people of all ages should read. The author caught the atmosphere of the children's lives.I suppose that some people are unable to imagine the possibility of this ever happening again, but I must put emphasis on the fact that this occurred LESS than one hundred years ago. In fact, only one generation ago!This book would be an excellent mandatory high school reader!!
Every Holocaust Testimonial has received a FIVE STAR rating from me. I have read at least 50 over the past couple of years. First on my kindle Touch and now on my kindle Voyage.I highly recommend if you are not familiar with that part of history to pick any of the titles. Personally I try to stick with the below $5 price range for any kindle book but I do maintain a Wishlist of Holocaust-related titles between $5 and $11, I will get them all eventually.I am not good at writing reviews, I struggled all through school with book report requirements too. I have given all these books five stars just because doesn't offer the option for more than 5.I feel we all as members of the human race should be reading these testimonials and offering prayers for the souls of the victims of this tragic period as well as to show respect for the survivors and their descendants.
This story reads as well as a good novel. The author met the oldest sister in America and was moved to write her memories of this horrible period of her childhood. That she and her sister survived this time was due to non-Jews who protected them, risking their own lives.
Fine book about Jews and the Holocaust. Damn all Germans! How dare they kill little children. Wonderful story about 2 little girls who held hands through a nightmare. Hitler was right: The 3rd Reich will last 1,000 years, only in memory of their monstrous acts and cruelty.
These two books detailing the experiences of these families during the Holocaust are what I consider very well-written and clearly portrayed what the human spirit is capable of holding on to. The resiliency of these families and their love for one another were exceptional factors that made them survive the hardship of war. Excellent.
I have been reading personal stories of survivors of the holocaust period. This book is about a loving family torn apart by the Nazis. It tells the story of two little sisters who were left without any family and their many struggles to stay alive.
