    Don't Miss This One
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2023*

How could this have happened? How could this have been allowed to have happened? What part is missing in the human soul that allowed the world to do nothing? To say nothing? I have never understood this.  Maybe, after all, it's simply not understandable.  Maybe it just is.  Maybe it's enough that we just know it's there, lurking within us, even within the best of us.  Simon Worrall and Heather Dune Macadam have spent their lives trying to unravel the mystery of how and why people turned away, of how and why some people reveled in the hatred, of how and why a special few had the courage to stand up and fight back.  Many thanks to Heather and Simon for having the courage to Never Forget.  Star Crossed is an important addition to their body of work.  I'm not going to lie: Every sentence will break your heart. This is not an easy book to read. You'll want desperately to reach back into the pages of history and change fate. But we can't. What happened, happened. All that's left to us is to learn from it.  This is not an easy book to read -- but it IS an important book.  Never Forget.

    Such books should be read so the world cannot escape past genocides
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2023*

Paris in the 1930s was a temple of all cultural forms: music, art, literature, film. Unfortunately, as Nazis moved into occupy France, they dimmed the City of Light. Star Crossed is the story of a Jewish family, the Zelmans, as they intersect first with Paris and then with the Nazis. Annette, the eldest daughter babysits her younger siblings and attends art school at the Académie des Beaux-Arts. She also hangs out at Café de Flore and meets such notables as Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sarte, Simone Signoret, Jean Jausion, Picasso, Giacometti, and Dora Maar. As the Nazi stranglehold on Paris tightens, very existence of Annette and her family is threatened.The title of the book, Star Crossed: A True Romeo and Juliet Story in Hitler's Paris, seems a bit off. True, Annette is Jewish and her lover, the poet Jean Jauson, is Gentile, somewhat akin to Romeo and Juliet’s feuding families. However, the modern love story doesn’t begin until about halfway through the book, and the two lovers don’t die for each other as Romeo and Juliet did, but are individually done in the the war. The story is more a cultural history of Paris blended with a biography of Annette with a lot of cultural references, real events, photographs, drawings, and correspondence embedded. As such, the book covers a lot of ground and thus can't do justice to it all.Although the book misses somewhat on the title, it does get one thing right: the atrocities committed by the Nazis in their efforts to rid the world of populations they deemed undesirable. Such books should be written—and read—so the world cannot escape the record of past genocides and hopefully will learn to rise above such destructive malevolent behavior.

    Fascinating Story
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2023*

This book kept me reading; I did not want to put it down. I felt as though I got to know the people in it.  It was very sad; yet necessary story to be told.
