Books about the Holocaust upset me a lot. I feel so bad for its victims, it angers me. I knew that this book was going to move me a lot. And it did. We follow these horrible events through the eyes of three different children, and because children have a more innocent and trusting way at looking at the word, it makes the reading experience even more striking. The contradictions between their hopefulness at the beginning, and the events, are just heart wrenching. It is an easy read because the writing is accessible to everyone and is so beautiful, but not a light book at all. It's necessary to read about this part of History, even more so because it is still happening with the Uyghurs in China and leaders of the world are turning a blind eye to it. Saying I enjoyed this book would be disrespectful, for I am heartbroken by what happened and what is still happening, the feeling of helplessness - but it was so beautifully written that I could not put it down, with gripping fleshed-out characters, that I will remember it and recommend it. ...more
