And the World Closed Its Doors: The Story of One Family Abandoned to the HolocaustIn this masterpiece of Holocaust literature, David Clay Large tells the wrenching story of Max Schohl, a German Jew who, in the midst of the Second World War, could not find a government that would allow his family to immigrate, despite wealth, education, and business and family connections.

In this masterpiece of Holocaust literature, David Clay Large tells the wrenching story of Max Schohl, a German Jew who, in the midst of the Second World War, could not find a government that would allow his family to immigrate, despite wealth, education, and business and family connections. After repeated but fruitless efforts to gain entry first to the United States and then to Britain, Chile, and Brazil, Max died in Auschwitz and his wife and daughters were sent to hard labor in Wiesbaden. Much has been written about the West's unwillingness to attempt the rescue of tens of thousands of European Jews from the hands of the Nazis; now David Clay Large gives a human face to this tragedy of bureaucratic inertia and ill will. The youngest daughter of the Schohl family, today a seventy-four-year-old widow living in Charleston, South Carolina, has opened her family's records to Large: a unique collection of family letters and other documents chronicling the experiences of the Schohls and those who tried to bring them to England and America. From these papers Large has fashioned a gripping and intimate narrative of one family's efforts to escape the Holocaust in Europe and the inadequate response from abroad.

okay so far...
I was wondering how my skin would react from this since I've been the cerave SA cleanser for a while now and didn't notice any dryness whatsoever with that. But, I've always wondered the strength or percentage of SA in the cerave (which is impossible to find out I guess...) I'm guessing it's less than 2% so I wanted to try out a cleanser with a higher % to see if there was a different. After a few days I did notice some dryness, which I suppose could be due to wintertime, but I think it's the cleanser. Not surprising, I was bracing myself for dry skin. I will probably take a break until my skin returns to normal and reintroduce this to a few times a week or something, or I may save it for the humid summers. Other than that, I like the formula, it has a very subtle scent I don't mind at all.

Smooth and oil free skin
At first I was scepticle, losing hope that anything would help my oily acne prone skin. But then I ordered this, and it's magic. Now my skin is smooth, balanced, and the acne is slowly going away. Best thing of all, no more oily skin! Will be ordering again!

BUY THIS!
I WISH i took a before and after photo of my results because the speed of which this worked was insane. Although I encourage to use the product as the package instructs you to, I just needed to share how well it worked for me and how I used it. I began applying the cleanser specifically to my acne prone areas on my face (between my eyebrows, above my lips etc) and allowing it to sit for 15-30 minutes before washing it off then moisturizing immediately after during the night time. in the morning, i cleansed those same areas once more and moisturized with spf 25 sun protection to protect my skin from dryness and repeated those steps each night for the next 3 days. 1 night i decided to just leave the cleanser on my acne prone/scarring areas and the morning after, the most stubborn scar on my face was literally GONE. it was insane. needles to say, this product worked so well for me. instantly cleared up my acne, by scarring, and stubborn bumps on my face. don’t forget to moisturize and use sun protection though because salicylic acid is in fact very drying for your skin. love this product. highly highly highly recommend.

Did the formula change?
I had ordered a travel kit of this product around christmas and it seemed to work really well. I was only really using the cleanser from the kit, and I ran out so I decided to order more. I feel like this isnt the same as what was in the kit. Ive been constantly breaking out since using this bottle. I dont know if the formula changed or what, but I can't use it anymore.
