Fiction
Date Published: 04-17-2025
In 1940, Leo Butlion, a young Jew studying to be a medical doctor in
Koblenz, Germany, has his future plans disrupted when Nazi forces destroy his
family and their business. His heroic escape and commitment to survive drive
him to overcome the greatest test man could ever encounter. Ivy Jacobson, a
deformed yet highly talented fashion designer, works in a textile factory in
Liege, Belgium that is ransacked by Nazi invaders. She escapes their brutality
and meets Leo. Leo explains the Hebrew word IYSH which means "champion" and
together they agree to persevere and champion the cause no matter how
difficult it becomes. Their heroism and tenacity unfold in dramatic fashion as
they are captured, separated and sent to concentration camps where their
future survival is unclear. The story develops from WWII until the Yom Kippur
War in 1973 which takes place in Israel.
My Review...
Somewhat overwhelming, this is a strong book about World War
2 and maybe even more focused on the horrors the Jews had to bear during that
time.
I said this was hard to read because even though this is fiction, there are a lot of
truths here, and to this day they should still be something we hate to even
think about. Not something we shouldn’t know about, but something we don’t like
to think about because we never wish it to happen again. The lives of the
people touched here tell a very realistic story.
In the midst of this is a love story. One that is ripped
apart during the war. You will live much history here and feel every possible
emotion, and you won’t be able to stop til you know the ending.
