Description To Books Jack and Rochelle: A Holocaust Story of Love and Resistance
A gripping memoir wherein Jack and Rochelle Sutin recount their struggle to survive the Holocaust as part of a band of partisans in the forests of Poland. Told through their son Lawrence, the memoir brings to life the reality of months spent hidden in a dank underground bunker unaware of the outside world. However, this is not just an account of stark survival. It is also the tale of an impossible love affair that has lasted more than 50 years, and an eloquent reminder that history is made up of the often deeply moving details of individual lives.List Books During Jack and Rochelle: A Holocaust Story of Love and Resistance

It is the account of Jack and Rochelle before, during and after the Russian and Nazi invasions of Poland.Their son writes their words. Sometimes Jack will finish Rochelle's words or she finishes his. It also tells their different takes on the times they lived through.People who don't believe the Jewish history before, during and even after WW II will never change their opinions but the rest of us need to read these types of accounts so we can prevent the same thing happening again to any groupThere is nothing as compelling as a real-life story - whether it's a love story, a war story or a personal journey through an unimaginable horror. Jack and Rochelle is all three of these stories, melded and meshed together into an unforgettable story of the terrible things that human beings can do to each other and the power of love and determination.Told simply, in a conversational format and alternating between Jack and Rochelle, it is a story that I found completely and utterly riveting from
The book Jack and Rochelle, written by Jack Sutin, conveys a strong story of the Holocaust from a unique perspective.

3.5 stars. A really great first person account of terrible events.
this was an amazing story - and a great Twin Cities connection that I didn't realize going in. What a love story set amidst really unfathomable conditions.
I read this book for my reading classes. It's a holocaust story, and it's amazing what this couple went through to survive -- and thankfully it has a happy ending! The students in my reading classes love it because it's a love story, it's nonfiction, and there are some gritty details that we could all identify with.
Amazing story of survival. Also to know that these individuals ended up living in my city makes me want to be more compassionate & a bit more curious about the people I encounter. Enthralled with the people in the story & their will to survive through the hardship & hell of the holocaust.
