Review

An absolutely fascinating account of the nursing in a former concentration camp following the Second World War. The book is formed of letters sent by the director of nursing to her Australian friends and family. Both heart-breaking and uplifting it蜜桃直播檚 a brilliant account of nursing refugees, holocaust survivors and displaced persons following the fall of Germany. The author was not planning to write for a public audience which makes her very honest, with a very accessible writing style. Her focus is always on how things could be improved, and the challenges she faces around resources will be familiar to current nursing practitioners.
