Neighbors, The destruction of the Jewish community in Jedwabne Poland, by Jan T. gross is an extremely powerful book. This story has 173 pages (without pictures and glossary) filled with information about the war, murder, and after the war for Jews. Neighbors has an important "moral" to teach, it wasn't the Poles or Germans that killed Jews it was their neighbors. Which means their friends or neighbors could have spoken and said this is wrong but instead they remained silent. This is a sad and heartbreaking story to read but it is about what really happened to Jews.
Sounds like an intense book with a lesson we all need to learn. if each person does the right thing, the evil doers cannot succeed!
