Benjamin Rabinowitz’s life is shattered as he watches his wife, Lila, and his son, Moishe, leave to escape the Lodz ghetto. He is conflicted because he knows this is their best chance of survival, but he asks himself, will he ever see them again?

Ilsa Guhr has a troubled childhood, but as she comes of age, she learns that her beauty and sexuality give her the power to get what she wants. But she craves an even greater power. As the Nazis take control of Germany, she sees an opportunity to gain everything she’s ever desired.

Fate will weave a web that will bring these two unlikely people into each other’s lives.

Survival and power during WW2 brutality and their consequences

Reviewed in the United States on 28 January 2020

This novel describes different personalities and ways of coping during the Holocaust. Writing is excellent. I have read all Kagan’s prior works in this series but this was my least favorite. It was difficult to appreciate as familiar protagonists were only introduced again somewhat after the midpoint. This lack of continuity led to my difficulty in recalling the roles they played in the series.previously I was happier when they were reintroduced. Ethical issues were explored such as justifiable revenge vs. forgiveness. Nazi monsters should be remembered for their sadistic actions so they will not be repeated.

Another wonderfully written book by this Holocaust writer. She takes you there and allows you to feel what the characters experienced during the awful times of WW2 in Europe. Ms. Kagan’s books definitely hold one’s interest and make you painfully aware of what human beings are capable of doing to one another when evil prevails.

A decent drama descends into melodrama

Reviewed in the United States on 25 November 2020

Some people are born storytellers, and having read her novel Millions of Pebbles, there is no doubt that Roberta Kagan is one of them. Her writing style reminds me of Jeffrey Archer. Neither Kagan nor Archer will ever be known as great writers, but they are both good storytellers.

Frankly, I have never been a fan of Holocaust fiction. There is a plaque at Auschwitz which reads that about a million and a half mainly Jewish men, women and children were murdered there. In her book Kagan wrote, “Every person who died here in Auschwitz had a past; they had a family; they had a story to tell.” Since she had a million and a half true stories to tell, why did Kagan bother instead to fabricate fictional characters and events?

I suppose it’s because Kagan is a novelist, not a historian. She would say that her fictional characters were meant as composites of real people, and in her novel she could create conversations and events that she imagined might have really happened. This is her way of telling the stories of the true victims.

In addition, according to her website, Kagan is the daughter of Holocaust survivors. Presumably she would have heard stories from them which were authenticated by actual experience.

I visited Auschwitz last year with a Holocaust survivor, my wife’s uncle, now age 90, who served as our tour guide. He and my wife’s late father were prisoners there as boys.

From hearing his testimony firsthand and witnessing the exhibits, the buildings where grotesque “medical” experiments were performed on helpless prisoners, and the remnants of the gas chambers and crematoriums, the scope of the evil deeds perpetrated there defies human comprehension. If anything, Kagan’s book understated them.

If you’re looking for a factual account written by an actual prisoner at Auschwitz, there is none better than Night, the late Elie Wiesel’s haunting memoir. But in Roberta Kagan’s fictional creation of Benjamin Rabinowitz and the many characters he encounters before, at, and after Auschwitz, the emotional payoff in Millions of Pebbles might also have been haunting if the amateurish final chapters had not been marred by melodrama and implausibility.
