Summary: Jacob's Rescue
Review: "Jacob's Rescue" is one of the Holocaust novels that focuses more on the characters than on historical information. This is the story of Jacob Gutgeld and how he left the ghetto for the Jews in Poland and went to stay with a non-Jewish family. This novel will make you appreciate the goodness within most people and you will examine yourself and see whether or not you are similar to the Roslan family, the family that took care of Jacob Gutgeld, and two of his brothers. This would be a good Holocaust novel for a child to read as it doesn't have very mature themes and this is age appropriate for a young person. This book will touch you deep within and the authors of this novel, which happens to be based on true events, will carefully show how a few families during World War II helped out Jewish people that went into hiding from the Nazi party. "Jacob's Rescue" is recommend to anybody that is looking for a good Holocaust novel. Keep in mind, though, that this would be better reading for a young child than for an adult. This is recommended very strongly. Happy Reading!!!

Summary: Jacob's Rescue
Review: I realy enjoyed this book called Jacob's Rescue. I really liked it so I would give it a five star rating. This is one of the best books I ever read! It is a true story about a Jewish boy named Jacob in 1943. The Germans are trying to kill Jews. A Polish family named the Roslans hid Jacob in their house. The Nazi troops were thinking that the Roslans were hiding a Jew. I think that it was amazing how the Roslans went out of their way to save Jacob!

Summary: Jacob's Rescue
Review: Jacob's Rescue is a sad and adventurous book based on a true story about a little Jewish boy named Jacob and his life during the Holocaust. This boy had to live with a family of people he didn't even know, had his name changed to Genyek, and had Nazi soldiers on his tail. Jacob doesn't mean to cause any trouble but because of him the Roslans had Nazi soldiers search their house many times, and he partially caused one of their own kids to die. I liked this book because it was very exciting and it always left you wanting more.

Summary: Jacob's Rescue
Review: Jacob's Rescue I have never read a book about the Holocaust before and I didn't know much about it. This book is through a Jew's eyes and how bad it really was to be a Jew during the Holocaust. This is a book about a boy named Jacob who has to live with a Christian family because he is a Jew, and he needed a place to hide or he would be killed by the Germans. You read about all the problems a Jew would have gone through during the Holocaust. I really like this book because it was exciting and I couldn't wait until I read the next chapter.

Summary: The Holocaust was terrifying for young Jacob
Review: We are the most excellent and often noisy class of 5T from Holland Elementary School in Holland, MA. We read Jacob's Rescue for literature study in our unit on the Holocaust. The book we just read is about when a Polish family tries to keep alive three Jewish brothers during the Nazi occupation in World War II. The story is about a boy who was saved, along with his brother, from the Warsaw ghetto. They lived with a family, but they still felt scared of the Nazis. The book tells about the terrifying encounters with the Nazis. There are several reasons why we liked this book. It tells in great detail what happened to regular people during the Nazi occupation. We liked the part about when the family fled Warsaw because we were glad that they were able to escape to safety. We liked Jacob's Rescue because it was an emotional and realistic book. It made some of us cry when people died. It made some of us shout for joy when people got away from the Nazi invasion. Some of us had a few criticisms of the book. Because the book was so realistic there was a lot of violence and death. Some of us did not like that. People were blown up, people lay in puddles of blood, and a dead dog was dragged away to be someone's dinner. Some of us also felt the pace of the book was too rapid; the book lacked detail because it moved too quickly. At one point they skipped two years in Jacob's life. We got a little confused about characters' ages at different points in the book.
