BOOK REVIEW OF “HANNIA Forgotten Holocaust Survivor” by Iryna Colvin Spencer
This 276 page book authored by Hannia’s daughter Iryna who herself was born in Germany during the Second World War when her mother was a captive slave labor abducted from the Polish occupied part of the Ukraine. The author’s writing style lends itself perfectly to the story’s authentic description of life as a slave labor with its trials and tribulations, and their eventual immigration to America. The book also contains 44 pages of Hannia’s recipes, a gold mine for adventurous chefs. I highly recommend this book without reservations and give it five stars.
