This book don't have my admiration, it has my absolute and total RESPECT 
 TBH I am utterly speechless. I cried. I smiled. I felt everything so vividly that I was sobbing in front of my family after reading this one of a kind novel. The story circles around four different point of views. Each suffers a different dilemma and each has a dark oppressive past. 
 "Hitler considered those born blind or disabled, inferior. They were called garbage children, life unworthy of life." 
 Usually I would be cussing at this point stating that this ridiculously mustache man (Hitler) was the devil himself but I won't because all I felt for this man now is pity. Pity because he never felt what it was like to be loved for he was only feared by the people. He was respected because he squeezed the respect out of them by force. I don't know what type of struggle this man had suffered to treat Jews, Polish, PWDs (the list could go on forever) with bone deep racism that he proclaimed them as subhumans. 
 I don't have much knowledge about World War II but what I know now is enough to make me say that it was not an ideal timeline to live in which makes me respect people who survived that ordeal thousand... No, million times more. They fucking survive that son of a bitch and defeated the villain like some kind of a badass literary character from a book and that takes a huge amount of courage and strength. To all the grannies out there please continue being a legend 
 "History divided us, but through reading we can be united in story, study, and remembrance. Books join us together as a global reading community, but more important, a global human community striving to learn from the past." 
 Wilhelm Gustloff the 9,000 lives, hopes and futures you took will be remembered. This book was great, it perfectly depicted the struggle during the war, the misery, the depression and everything was accurately captured with each word and letter of this novel. It's a mind opening read and everyone deserves to have it. 
 PS: 
 "A little boy and his sister straddled an ox, gripping a frayed piece of rope tied around the animal's neck. "Please, Magnus, hurry!" coaxed the little boy, thumping his heels into the ox." 
 Of all the names an ox could have why MAGNUS? (I'm obsessed with Magnus Lukas Damora, so why name an animal with that?) Hahaha
