 One of the best stories about the Holocaust... December 27, 2008
I have read 10+ books on the Holocaust, visited the concentration camps of Auschwitz, Majdanek & Treblinka, taken classes on the Holocaust & in my opinion, this is one of the best books on the subject, ranking with Elie Wiesel's "Night". Her detail & descriptions are astounding and really bring alive her experience during the Holocaust. She also does an amazing job of making the audience truly feel her despair, anger, sadness & frustration towards her situation. This is a short book, but it packs a wallop & I would highly recommend it for anyone interested in learning about the Holocaust. This would also be appropriate for a high-school English or Social Studies class because the author is a teenager (which the students could relate to) & her descriptions are realistic, but not too graphic, which can be an issue with books that describe concentration camps.
Fantastic! December 12, 2008
I have read this book twice and it never gets old. It is very sad to know that people actually had to go through that. I would recommend this book to everyone.
My son could not put it down. September 12, 2008
This was my 8th grade son's summer reading. He could not stop reading it and it caused him to initiate a lot of conversation with us about the holocaust. Since it was from the perspective of a girl his own age, he really identified with it.
 Quick, entertaining read August 29, 2008
I have just started reading more accounts of World War II and really enjoyed this survivor story. It is a big account in a small package. It is not about the gory details, but more about the emotions behind them. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
