review 1: Stubborn enough to live despite the odds? Brosnia was a privledged Jewish child in Poland when Hitler's Army advanced and changed everything. Brosnia became a food smuggler and outwitted the Germans and Jewish collaborators. Most of her very large family did not survive the war, but Brosnia was one of the youngest survivors of the Auschwitz II-Birkenau concentration camp. How can you not weep for these families lost? Brosnia prefers to think of her children and grandchildren who would not exist if she had not survived. That is the very essence of a survivor, no?
review 2: I enjoyed the author's honesty, but I did not like the lengthy introduction and I felt like the author skimmed over some really important events and information. The book describes the ... moreauthors personal experience with the horrors of the holocaust, but the book fell short in its descriptions and I never felt like I got to know anything about her family. I know this book is meant for middle grade students, but sadly, although this is an important story, this book is not very engaging and will not hold a young reader's attention. less
