Summary: A profound and emotional reflection
Comment: Earlier this year, I went to see a screening of the CBS miniseries based off this book. Ruth Gruber, the author, eloquently spoke, as did New York Senator Chuck Schumer. The senator said that Mrs. Gruber's "valiance" was "enormous." One would have an incredible amount of trouble disagreeing with that. Similarly, the brilliance of "Haven," a reflection on Mrs. Gruber's efforts during the Second World War to assist 1,000 European Jewish immigrants come to America and then live here successfuly, is enormous. The language is humble but immensely warming. The beauty of the writing is only overcome by the power of the story. This book should be read. It deserves to be read, not just by those who are interested in the Holocaust or the history of American Jews, but by all Americans.

Summary: An amazingly touching story
Comment: After seeing the TV swpecial, I immediatly bought the book and began reading it. I recommend this book to anyone who is at al interested in WWII. I am only 14, but found this book to be very touching. It describes a young american reporter who risks her life and career to escort 1000 refugees from Europe to the US. The refugees aren't only Jewish, and this book tells of all the friends Ruth met. It's a true story, written by Ruth Gruber herself. The book describes of all the highs and lows of their journey, and even has a list of al the refugees in the back of the book. I found this book to be very touching, because i finally realized how hard it was for the refugees once they were away from the war.

Summary: Incredible author writing about difficult topic!
Comment: Ruth Gruber writes with the same poise with which she speaks, from the heart! The simplicity of her text somehow magically draws one into the times about which she writes. She writes about difficult subjects yet it is impossible to put down her books. I've been devouring them all.
