Summary: Kindertransport
Review: "Why is there a tree on top of the House?" asked Olga in the winter of 1932. Kindertransport is an autobiography about a girl named Olga. Olga has a mother, a father, and a brother. Olga is the youngest in her family. This book is about Olga and her family going through tough times. During this book Olga's family gets separated, Olga moves from family to family, and many more horrible things happen to her. Olga and her brother get sent away to England because it is too dangerous to stay in Germany when Hitler is becoming Chancellor. This book takes place in Germany, during World War II.
In Kindertransport the chapters move quickly from one to another; sometimes you have to go back through the chapter to catch up on what you were reading the day before. Some advice that I would give to someone that wants to read this book is to be prepared for anything. There are so many different moods in this book that you will end up crying, laughing, feeling sad, and feeling like you would have wanted to be back in the time of Hitler, so you could have tried to stop him.
I think the most important theme for Kindertransport is that, no matter what happens to you or your family, you can always get through the tough times without them. I think that is the theme because Olga went through hard times and didn't have her parents there to support her when she really needed it. Olga survived without her parents for so long, is because she had a lot of faith, and, new that she would see her parents again some day.
I would recommend this book to people that like to learn about history and to people that don't know very much about Hitler and World War II. Also this book gives you another look at World War II because you get to know what happens to the children, not what happens in Germany, or what happens in the concentration camps.
I would give this book about 4 stars because this book is amazing, exciting, and very funny. But the bad thing about the book is that it goes way too fast from one chapter to another. I would have given this book 5 stars if the book went slower through the chapters, and maybe had a little more detail in some chapters that a lot happened in them.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: one of the best book of the decade!
Review: I had read a large variety of books,and i find this autobiography great,and in a way,it moved me. It's difficult to believed a girl of 10 or 11 years old to enter a new country on her own,especially when she hardly knew anyone from the country(other than her brother,Hans).I would say,this book is great, after Anne Frank's and several other biographies/autobiographies...

If you read the book with great thoughts,you can feel the hatred and pain, of how young and old Jews were treated.It's a sad thing to know 15 million soldiers lost their lives on battlefields,and 32 millions ordinary folks lost their life...

More than 50 years have passed...and the then little Olga's life have long changed...It's really almost impossible to believe the Olga today and the Olga years back...She had not only retrieved confidence,knowledge, but also witnessed one of the world's darkest storm...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love Kindertransport
Review: Kindertransport is a fun book to read if you like a holocaust book. If you don't mind death camps then you will like to read this book. It give you info on the holocaust, and how they were treated. It is a wonderful book.
