Summary: The best of the Holocaust stories
Review: "Until We Meet Again" was a wonderful, true Holocaust story that, in my opinion, ties with "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl" as the best Holocaust books.When two Polish Jews, Meyer and Manya, both 17, and their families decide to go into hiding from the Nazis, there troubles are just beginning. Manya and her 14-year-old brother, Chaim, decide to leave her family's dangerous hideout and go with her boyfriend, Meyer. Together, they go through various hiding places and worsening concentration camps all over Europe. Trying to survive day by day, they often wonder if they will ever be free again. Meyer and Manya survive, however, with their great faith and love for each other - but how? Will they ever see their families again? Can they ever be happy... and free? This was a great, inspirational story, written by the couple's son. It can be read and enjoyed by a large age group, anywhere from middle schoolers, teens, and adults. It really helped me to see the true horror of the war, and I would highly recommend it!

Summary: Not For Me
Review: Candidly, this novel was way to melodramatic. I felt throughout the entire read the writer was trying to tell me how horribly the Jewish race suffered, and trying ridiculously hard to find empathy. Indeed the Holocaust was a horrid event, and I do not say otherwise, but this novel is a complete misrepresentation of it. In my opinion, the writer was trying to make it sound poetic and romantic, all the while informing its readers, but the end product was a complete flop. Of course I respect this man's parents for the horrible things they were forced to endure, but the romantic aspect of the novel bluntly resembled a soap opera. The conversations that the family had while in hiding were put there for no other reason then to inform the readers about what had occurred. This was a horrible mistake. It made the novel seem tacky and cheesy. "Until We Meet Again" had great potential, with a captivating story line, but the author completely ruined it.

Summary: Until We Meet Again
Review: I loved reading this book, it was hard puting down once I started. It's amasing to think that this is a true story and the holocaust really did happen. Meyer and Mayna were strong and by keeping the faith and not loosing their hope in the struggle to stay alive dunring this time. I could never imagine leaving my faimly knowing that I would never see them again. I think eveyone should read ths book because you get a real feel for what was going on in Germany druring WW11

Summary: What a Shame Its Out of Print
Review: This is a marvelous book, and I'm pleased to read the newer reviews and see that it still has an audience. It is an incredible love story that happens to take place in the Holocaust. It also includes a fascinating detective story about how the authors discovered that Chaim survived the war. I especially recommend the book to teenage readers, and I wished that the book had been originally marketed to them.

Summary: An inspiring story about faith and hope
Review: This story of a family that went through the time of the holocaust of the Jews was a real breath taker. Once I started reading it, I thought it was boring, but then it actually takes you in the story. Next thing I knew I had tears in my eyes. It actually helped me to see the true side of the horror of the war. I can't imagine the pain the suffrage Meyer and Manya and her family went through. It is not only a story about getting through the war but also remarkable love story that happens during the Holocaust.In a way I recommend the book to teenage readers, because it focuses on the teenage Jews and the difficulties they went through at such young age. Meyer and Mayna were tough and by maintaining the faith and not loosing there hope in the fight to stay alive all through the time. We must not instruct our children to in no way let anything resemble like this happen again.
