Parting Words is the true story of Benjamin Ferencz in his own words he is one of the last survivors of WW2, he is now 100 years old.

He was the led prosecutor of many of the Nazis who played a huge part in the most unnamable atrocities this world had ever lived, but at the same time, he show us his kindness and how he always had love and hope no matter what he was against.

Parting words is more of life lessons that Benjamin shared with us, how we need to keep on moving with our lives no matter what, the past is not our present or our future the past is just a story that has helped us to move forward and grow but that shouldn't define us. that's what I keep hearing between the lines of this amazing book.

The starting years of Ben weren't easy, he didn't have any money and was living under the conditions many of the Immigrants lived in at that time. but like many of those immigrants, he was able to prove them wrong and get a scholarship for one of the most prestigious colleges in the country and also in the world.

I really enjoy Parting words, I think Benjamin live a great life, full of love, in love with his wife since they were just kids. he really is an example for many and I think this book without giving too much away deserves to be read and to be heard and shared. we constantly complain about what we dont have or what doesn't make us happy when Benjamin shows us how everything we need and want is already inside of us.

Great book, Great Biographies & Memoirs I really enjoy it!
