The engrossing memoir of a spirited and glamorous young fashion designer who survived World War ll, with an afterword by her daughter, Helen Epstein. In the summer of 1942, twenty-two year-old Franci Rabinek--designated a Jew by the Nazi racial laws--arrived at Terezin, a concentration camp and ghetto forty miles north of her home in Prague. It would be the beginning of her three-year journey from Terezin to the Czech family camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau, to the slave labor camps in Hamburg, and Bergen Belsen. After liberation by the British in April 1945, she finally returned to Prague. Franci was known in her group as the Prague dress designer who lied to Dr. Mengele at an Auschwitz selection, saying she was an electrician, an occupation that both endangered and saved her life. In this memoir, she offers her intense, candid, and sometimes funny account of those dark years, with the women prisoners in her tight-knit circle of friends. Franci's War is the powerful testimony of one incredibly strong young woman who endured the horrors of the Holocaust and survived.Binding Type: Paperback

Reviers discussing wrong translation
Format: Hardcover
I have read the two earlier reviews. They are concerned with the Fitzgerald translation indicated as the "paperback" version of this edition. However, this edition (the Loeb Classical Library edition) is not by Fitzgerald but by A. T. Murray and is a prose translation as are all Loeb translations of classical poetry. Of course, the Fitzgerald translation is a monumental classic in its own right, but it is not the edition published by Loeb.

A Soul-Refreshing Daily Devotional
Format: Hardcover
New Morning Mercies by Paul David Tripp is a spiritual gem that delivers 365 days of gospel-centered encouragement. Each entry blends profound biblical insights with practical, heart-stirring reflections, perfect for starting your day grounded in faith. The hardcover’s durable design and ribbon marker make it a joy to use, whether you’re a seasoned believer or new to devotionals.
Pros:
Deep Yet Accessible: Tripp’s writing is rich with gospel truth, yet relatable, offering fresh perspectives on grace and redemption daily.
Transformative Impact: Readers (including me, after 60 days) report renewed hope and clarity—perfect for navigating life’s challenges.
Gift-Worthy: I have bought 8 in total gifting them to friends and family. With 4.9-star ratings across Amazon and Christianbook (10k+ reviews), it’s a heartfelt Christmas gift for all ages.
Engaging Format: Short, 2–3 minute readings with scripture tie-ins fit busy mornings.
Cons:
Dense for Some: A few find the theological depth intense; lighter readers might prefer simpler devotionals.
Repetitive Themes: Grace-heavy focus can feel similar across entries, though it’s intentional for reinforcement.
This devotional is a must-have for anyone seeking daily spiritual renewal. Pair it with coffee for a soul-lifting start to your day! 🙏📖 #FaithInspo #Devotional

I believe this is one of the best devotionals on the market today
I have just started reading this devotional a few days ago and I don’t feel any heart convictions but that doesn’t mean this isn’t a good book. I believe you can read any of the devotions in this book whenever and not have to read it based on the day. I love that is has a scripture study on the bottom for more understanding and study that to me brings this devotional out from the others. I don’t have a lot of devotionals this one and some from Day Spring I like and that’s it. I have a couple Bibles with devotions but I like to open a book that has a devotional for me to read and study verses a huge book with devotions, don’t get me wrong I love my NIV woman’s study Bible but sometimes I just need to read one devotion per book and study and be done for the day. I have been looking on the market for some time in different places like our local Ollie’s and wasn’t drawn to anything. I came here and searched devotionals and this one popped up first and it sounded amazing and was recommended by a friend of mine in person I know and I felt like this was one that was going to make a difference in my life and not have just some inspiration message and a verse, I wish I got the one I could write in but that’s ok I can write in my journal and date it. So YES I highly recommend this book to anyone needing a good devotional and I don’t have this other one but God hears her sounds really good for the ladies but this one here is good for everyone not just ladies. I am just trying to figure out the best way to get the most out of this devotional Toby Mac has even read this and recommended it if that doesn’t say anything I don’t know what will. Get it for Christmas gifts for people you know. Get it just because or I’m thinking of you gift it’s good for any day and occasion. Like I said I’m just trying to figure out the best way to read it and get everything out of it!! It’s definitely more than inspiration and a quote. If this was the only one on the market it would be the only one that you need!
