I was planning on e-mailing the link, but you found it first! =D<BR/><BR/>Wanda - I think it's great that there are several high quality Holocaust memoirs and novels directed at a younger audience. I think it's pretty important even for kids to be learning about the Holocaust, and it was definitely something that captured my attention early. Glad you appreciated the review - I appreciate your appreciation! =DMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-12419835228164790342009-01-28T10:52:00.000-05:002009-01-28T10:52:00.000-05:00I've heard of this book but haven't read it.

It's good to know that there is more literature out there for younger people who develop an interest in the Holocaust after reading <I>The Diary of Anne Frank</I> in school.<BR/><BR/>I agree that this type of book is quite difficult to review. However, your effort in doing so is appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-43648207801231857542009-01-27T13:42:00.000-05:002009-01-27T13:42:00.000-05:00Sounds like a powerful book.

I learned that the hard way last year. :/<BR/><BR/>wereadtoknow - Odd how that is, isn't it? One book that I re-read a few times as a kid was The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen, which is a Holocaust novel. I loved it (continue to love it), but what are we - gluttons for punishment? <BR/><BR/>LF - Yes, there's just something about Holocaust stories that always draws me. They're hard to read, but then the survival against the odds and the unexpected moments of kindness in a world that pretty much stopped making sense keep me coming back every time.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-86660040658927793322009-01-25T18:17:00.000-05:002009-01-25T18:17:00.000-05:00I am glad you are feeling better, Magan.
