Orphan #8, the debut novel by Kim van Alkemade, illuminates horrific history about the use of orphaned children in scientific experiments. Through the eyes of Rachel Rabinowitz, the book documents the physical and emotional scars these children carried the rest of their lives. While I did not love the book, I do honor and respect the history documented in this book. May these children always be remembered.

What an amazing book this is about the way it was to live in an Orphanage. It also brings to light how the children were used as experiments to test medical procedures ! I feel this is an important read !
