The Journey Begins...
Today, my new journey begins with the book The Righteous by Martin Gilbert. I picked up this book because this book looks at another perspective of Holocaust. Generally, Holocaust is considered as one of the most disastrous event in human history. As Gilbert quotes, "the mass murder of Jews began on a scale hitherto unknown: hundreds, sometimes thousands, sometimes tens of thousands, being killed every day." Due to these horrible conditions, people not only try to find new places to stay, but also they get killed for no reasons. However, Gilbert focuses on the people who tried to save the Jews, not the people who hectored Jews. Also, this is the reason I picked up this book because since I am a Christian, I should learn how to assist others in various situations. Therefore, I hope to learn a lot from this book with spending enjoyable time reading it.
