For Such a Time

For Such a Time by Kate Breslin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The bible story of Esther saving her people retold in a new way....Hadassah, a beautiful Jewish woman who looks Aryan, has been saved from immediate death by a high-ranking SS Kommandant to be stationed at Theresienstadt in Czechoslovakia. Hadassah, who goes by the fake identity of Stella Muller, will be the Kommandant's new secretary at the transit camp. According to her Uncle Morty, who she finds at the camp barely alive, Hadassah will somehow save her people. But how can she do that when death dogs her every step?

Difficult to read of the suffering of many but beautifully written to align with the bible story of Esther and Mordecai...
