Unspoken Words by Shari J. Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 CRANKY STARS


This is the third book in Ms. Ryan’s series about the Holocaust. It is based on stories from her Grandmother that have been expanded on. She now wishes she had listened closer and asked more questions as I am sure we all do now that the older generation is passing on. Her first book is titled “Last Words” and told about Amelia’s capture and internment. The second book is titled “The Other Blue Sky”. It tells the story of Amelia through her granddaughter, Emma’s eyes. This last book is the tale of Charlie, a German Nazi at the internment camp where Amelia was held. I strongly advise you to read these books in order to fully appreciate this story.


These are extremely well written love stories. The story in this book shows the hardships that the young German boys faced. The blue-eyed blonds were put in special schools and taught to kill and hate. For kind-hearted Charlie this was unfathomable but, he had no choice. It was kill as ordered or be killed by your commanders for disobedience. To top it off, your whole family would be killed. How anyone involved in the Holocaust returned to a normal life is unfathomable to me. They must have been extremely strong. Even though the stories are mostly fiction, they opened my eyes as to why some people who survived can’t bring themselves to talk about their ordeal. I hope we have learned from these past mistakes.
