Very practical guide, real solutions, so much I didn't have a clue about, so glad I found it, really helped me, you will use it as a reference book constantly, jam packed with things you need to know NOW. I wish I had gotten prepared earlier for my parents' old age, but I was in denial, didn't want to face it yet, and I've been in such a nightmare. This book helped me climb out of it and taught me what I should have known years ago. Don't wait for a crisis, don't stick your head in the sand, if you get prepared early and know WHAT to do, caregiving can be so much easier. Also, you MUST MUST read "Elder Rage" which is also excellent, and will save your sanity too.

The Diary of Gonda Redlich is an enlightening tale of life and death within Theresienstadt, the "resort" or "paradise" concentration camp of the Jewish Holocaust. Throughout the course of the diary, we see Theresienstadt from the first hand experiences of Gonda, the head of children's affairs and the transports. We learn of all of the great cultural activities of Theresienstadt, while we learn of the transports east to Auschwitz, the greatest death camp of all. The first hand experiences and writings of Gonda provide envaluable information to any serious historian of the Jewish Holocaust. Can any person read this book? Must you be a historian? No, I believe that this book can be read by anybody. It is a timeless tale of life (with the birth of Gonda's son and the activities in Theresienstadt) and death (Gonda eventually was sent to die in Auschwitz) in the final solution. It is first hand proof for the world of the horrors and sometimes joys in the Jewish Holocaust.
