Barbara's book features fifty quilt blocks that commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Each block (most were first published in the 1930s) was selected for the symbolism its name lends to recounting stories from the era's women.

Dig into your reproduction fabrics and enjoy combining blocks to make your own tribute quilt.

How can one human beings be so cruel to another? How can the camp staff shuffle tens of thousands from train to gas chamber and think this is right? Impossible. Torture for amusement like the roman colosseum. What's amazing is the spirit to survive and the willingness by a few to help though it endangers their own life. To save one seems insignificant.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. An Important Contribution to the Literature of WW II and the Nazi HorrorBy Susan L. CarrierWhat a dark time the history of our planet. This is a memoir at once horrifying and mundane. The author catalogs the horror of Treblinka which he survived and of necessity adapted to in such a compelling way. It is important that this horror never be forgotten; esp. as it seems to be trying to break out again; just 70 years after the end of the last horror.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Necessary to readBy alspachslIt is difficult to comprehend the evil that is found described in this account but we must listen to these accounts and learn and make effort to understand. The success of the nazi party in annihilating 6 million Jews must not be forgotten nor underestimated. There are those that would seek to do this again and with our modern technology it would be more thorough and devastating. Let us never forget the depths that human sin can plummet.
