Summary: I Have Lived A Thousand Years
Review: This is a wonderful book about a girl named Elli. As a jewish girl during the Holocaust, her life was very tough. She had to go to a Getto at the begining of the war with her family. Then they were transferred to labor camps. Her Aunt Serina was taken away into another line. Her brother and father were also in another line. The only two that were still together were her and her mother. Elli saw many people die. She was determined to make it. A bunk feel on her mother and she thought she wasn't going to make it. They go through many tough times with little food and water. They also have to go through many selections and also get transferred to many different camps. I could hardly put this book down. I always wanted to know what was going to happen next.

Review: I have lived a thousand years is a great book dealing with the loss of familys and some very hard times. Were doing the holocaust in Reading and I'm so glad that we are!

Then anti-seminstic messages started going through her town. Soon laws and other things against Jews started happening. First they had to wear yellow stars;then their possessions and businesses were taken away. All the Jews in her town were shipped off to a ghetto.

She and her mother were separted from her anunt and the rest of her immediate family. Ellike and her mother endured many tortures like the standing, the kneeling. They had to eat soup with live worms, pieces of glass and cloth in it to survive. Later they wer again sent on a train but to a factory where things started to look up until they were deported again to Auschwitz When they were finally let free and went on the train, the train was blown up yet somehow they managed to survive. Her mother, herself and Beebe, her brother, were the only survivors. This book was an excellent story about what it truly was like to be Jewish in this time and all they went through.

Summary: I have lived a thousand years: Growing up in the holocaust
Review: Recently in my reading class, our teacher decided that we were going to read a book about the holocaust. The book was chosen at our discretion as long as it related to the Holocaust. I chose Livia Bitton-Jackson's I have lived a thousand years. Mrs. Fulton gave us a brief overview of each book, and this proved to be quite interesting. The book is about 13 year old Ellike Freidman who is jewish and as a result is unfairly persecuted along with many others. She is taken from her home after having all of her personal possesions, except that which could be kept in a napsack, taken away. She kept her notebook full of stories and poetry which she had written before everything was taken away. After being placed in the Warsaw Ghetto with as many victims as they could fit, she was moved to a concentration camp where she witnessed disease and destruction. Her camp was liberated, and they were once again shoved into cattle cars to leave. On they way back however, the Germans managed to deceive the prisoners by pretending to be Red Cross workers. When people would come up to get some soup they would be shot. In the end, she pulls through and makes it out of the horrifying nightmare that most didn't survive.

Summary: The most touching, eye-opening book i have ever read
Review: This is an excellent book. If you liked The diary of Anne Frank you would love this. I Have Lived a Thousand Years will make you truly understand the meaning of pain and gives a wonderful portrayal of human emotion. Sadly, this book also shows how horrible humans can be to eachother. Being thirteen when I read this, it was inspiring to read about some one my age who had so much hope and determination to live.

Summary: A Great Book About the Holocaust
Review: This book was very good. It taught me a lot about the holocaust. Before I hadn't heard a lot about the holocaust. Then, my Reading class started talking about the holocaust and we were told to read a book about it. I am glad I read this book,because this girl had really gone through a lot and all this really happened. Ellike, the main character, is a teenage girl living in the holocaust. She is a very talented girl that would risk a lot even if it meant her life. She went to a ghetto and then was taken to a concentration camp. She really matures and goes through a lot for her age and a lot of adults couldn't even live through all of the physical and emotional times. Even now after all the years it takes a lot of strength to get over it. This is a very disterbing, but informative book, and I think you should read it.

Summary: I Have Lived a Thousand Years
Review: At first I was a bit sckeptical when it came to this book on whether or not I would like it. I found it very interesting. This book is very appealing. It is very graphic. I enjoyed it fully. You would think a book about the Holocaust and what happened to the Jews would be boring and a history type book. The best part is that while you are reading it you are learning.

Summary: I Haved Lived A Thousand Years review
Review: The main character is a girl named Eli she is a Jewish girl whois living in the Holocaust.She is scared and she runs but a Natzicatches her.She get's taken to a popular concentration camp.If youowant the name read the book.

This book to me was just plain out badthere was barely any action and the girl is in a war.The author reallydoesn't get to the point untill almost the very end.

I wouldrecomend this book to a seven year old.If they can handle theunsuitible language.Know come on a childrens book that teaches you tocus in German give me a break.

The theme of this book is treat allmen no matter what there religion or color.I Learned that in SecondGrade.

This book resembles resembles the civil war days and howblacks were treated whith no respect.Peaple ran from one another,andthe killing made out of HATE.

This book also resembles a bookcalled Parallel Journey's.This book is much beter it has way moreaction and gets to the point alot quicker I recomend that to anyone.

Summary: I've Lived a Thousand Years
Review: The author of I've Lived a Thousand Years is Livia B. Jackson. The book setting was in Germany during the Holocaust. It was about how a Jewish girl girl's life was ruined during the Holocaust because of Hitler's hate for Jews. The main character was a girl named Elli L. Friedmann. She was taken to Auschwitz at age thirteen. The Germans fed and treated her poorly. She was separated from her family. I like the the book because it explained how a girl did not have a chance to enjoy her life. She was treated as a slave because of her race,during the Holocaust. I think that this book really gives you a good idea of what Jewish people went through during the Holocaust. I would recommend this book to anyone is interested in non- fiction or the Holocaust. This book is very informational about the Holocaust and how a girl survive the Holocaust.

Summary: I Have Lived a Thousand Years
Review: This is a review on the book I have Lived a Thousand Years. The book was written by Livia Bitton-Jackson.The setting takes place in Germany during World War2. In this book there are two main characters. Elli a girl that is tall, skinny, smart, and poetic. Mom is the other character that stays with Elli through out the war. In this book Elli experiences some tough times in Auschwitz a death camp. some of the things she had to fight through are starvation and torture. The theme of this book is racism and war are bad. I can prove this because the jews didn't want war but the Germans did. I would recommend this book to any World War2 buff that wants to hear a Jews perspective of the war and see how the war unfolded. The book I would compare this to is Parallel Journeys because both books give a Jews perspective on the war. I didn't like I Have Lived a Thosand Years because all it talked about was Elli and her poems.
