Purchased for a gift
I purchased this book for my son's 14th birthday. He enjoys true stories about history, especially WWII and everything that went on during those years. He was very excited when he opened it and has commented several times that he is really into it. I thought the pictures in the back of the book were a great addition to the story.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Important read for everyone!
Very realistic on what the author went through. Easy to read and understand, young adults could easily enjoy this book. Very important for the world to know what happened and that it indeed happened so we don't let anyone go there again! Highly recommend to all that are interested in this part of history and for those who don't think they are.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Eye opening
The book was good, but a little hard reading how we humans can treat another human being. That part is very sad. I pray that nothing like that ever happens again. Although we do still have countries that still persecute people, for many different reason and it is still sad.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
