Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I appreciated the story of this book, even more so because it is based on a true story. The writing did drag on in several areas, leading me to skim through paragraphs at times. I love WW2 stories, so much that it is rare that I find a book that I don't like, regardless of the writing quality. I love the stories of how individuals kept hope I'm even the most dire situations, rising up to fight against an obvious evil. With that being said, I don't read these to have politics thrown at me out of nowhere. Discuss the white supremacists that have shown up in the news more recently, absolutely because it's relevant to the story. But the references to the 2016 election seemed baseless and lacked credibility and had no reference to the actual story. Nazis took took their guns...They killed off the disabled...all highlighted in this story - but who here in this country has mirrored that same behavior that leads the author to say that the same evil fought during the Holocaust thrives on American soil now? For a book based on a real story, and the author's notes at the end based on reality, it seems out of place to then interject political opinions out of nowhere. It would be different if I had purposely chosen a political book to read. I doubt I'll read another book by this author. Really disappointing.
