Ms Birchnall wrote this after reading 'After the War'

'I cried my eyes out reading the book last night. I can’t remember now how many books I have read about the Holocaust but somehow I thought this one would be less powerful. I was wrong. Perfect timing to read it too, on Holocaust memorial day. We have our candle in the window every 27th January. (My mother’s side were Polish Jews that escaped, just before the war, to Australia).'
