The consequences of war and violence are candidly shared in They Called Me Gigi: A True Story, by Berthe Cohen. Having lived anything but an average life, the author details the difficulties she has faced - including the destruction of war, the loss of her childhood, and her suffering from depression - having experienced the horrors of World War II, the war between Israel and Egypt, the Suez Canal War, and the turbulent crisis in Nanterre, France, in 1966. In her postwar reflections, the author asks, "What can society do to avoid hatred and war?" She proposes some answers; educate our children to live happy lives, and end violent television programs, Also, we should consider the consequences of our actions, assume responsibility, and strive for a healthy family unit. Reading of her remarkable life, we come away feeling that we can and should help to make this world a better place.
