Namgyal Lhamo Taklha recounts her remarkable life in Born in Lhasa. She describes her childhood in a Tibet that no longer exists and chronicles her life and work on four continents. It is an engaging history of the Tibetan diaspora—dramatic and filled with anecdotes. Taklha's autobiography differs from those of other prominent Tibetans because she discusses the unexpected challenges of living in America and Europe.

8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. This is one of the most powerful documentations on the Holocaust that I have read thus farBy Christina ShawIt really was so insightful... I am German. My grandfather flew in the German luftwaffe. I was born in Hamburg and for all my life I have thougth about the Holocaust. My feelings ranged from guilt because 'how could my people do this to another'; to fear 'maybe this is my heritage'; to confusion 'why would my grandfather deny the Holocaust even with all the evidence' to questioning ' how could a whole nation see this done under their very noses and not do something; how can we turn a blind eye; and do we now turn a blind eye to injustice?' Therefore this book was super helpful. I am not completely done with the analysis; but it truly is super insightful. Anyone who has heard of the Holocaust asks the same questions and states the same thing in their hearts... "how?" and "what would I do?" The older we get the more we realize that anyone is capable of anything at any one time. This book shows us that we are not so different from the people we want to condemn. In the human experience there are moments where we are tested and unfortuneately we often choose the wrong road and make excuses why we did so. Lets look at the example of others who chose what was better.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. convicting call to actionBy Christina RemsbergGushed challenges the modern church to an honest appraisal of the Christians role during the holocaust. This is not a pat on the back or a slap in the face but rather an honest look at the response of the church and a push for the church to remain bystanders no longer.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. This book is inspiring and challenging. One laments that ...By Fred D. MuellerThis book is inspiring and challenging. One laments that within the church there were not more "righteous Gentiles." The book makes us consider whether or not we would have had the courage; conviction and compassion to risk our families and lives to help those headed for the slaughter and murder of the Holocaust.
