review 1: I am always sad for those who suffered through the Holocaust and am amazed at the will of the human spirit to survive and make the best of their situation. I am grateful that I live in such a different world and that their suffering has created the world to be better and not repeat the same errors.I thought this book was good for the younger reader that it was written for. It was repetitive and simplistic but gave the feelings and descriptions enough to gain understanding without all the graphic horrors that children do not need to be subjected to at a young age.
review 2: The summary of the book is about a real life teenager who escaped the holocaust. They were forced out of their house and were sent to a cattle car that was pitch dark and holes to breathe i... moren, some people were suffocating and also thirsty. Everyday and every night they would have a roll call. They never had nothing to eat except, for a watery soup and a small piece of hard bread. This book is very depressing, sad, and madness of the nazis ; I mean how could they do this to normal people and such adorable children. My favorite part of the book was when she was moved to Fallersleben to a different camp in Germany. Now she has new clothes to change, fresh water, delicious food and has her own bed and one blanket. When the americans came and rescued them, all the survivors of the labor camp ran and went in the forest to hide. She was able to go back to her hometown and see her uncle and brothers again. The part of the book I didn't like was when she went to her house and young lady came to the door. The young lady said,"your mother died when she arrived at Auschwitz-ll/Birkenau and that your father was burned alive of the spring of 1943. She has nowhere else to live so one of her friends said, "you can come live at are house tell you find some of your family. less
