We Are Witnesses : Five Diaries Of Teenagers Who Died In The Holocaust

Rating:
Summary: Ok I guess
Review: This book was OK. I had to read it for school but I agree that it had way too many narrations in it and the only thing that captured the teens' feelings and thoughts were the scant entries from their diaries. This book didn't move me at all. If the author had put more of the kids' entries in it, it might be more effective.

Summary: I loved this book and want to learn more about the Holocaust
Review: This was an excellent book! I just loved how the author added other historical facts about the diarists. This is the type of book that makes you want to learn more about the Holocaust and these teens. It really touches me, because as I read about each one of them, I could see myself, especially since I'm about their age. I would definately recommend this book to just about anyone!

Summary: Touching, sad, but moving and worth the read
Review: We are witnesses by Jacob Boas, is a GREAT book to read it gives you different views of teenagers that went through diffuculty during the holocaust. As you know, the person who was in charge of the holocaust was Hitler. All the teeangers talked about hope they always had the hope to live and to have their own family. They never talked about hate, they never said they hate hitler the only thing that they said was that he was responsible for what was happening. This was shocking to me because I would hate the person who had my family killed. Wouldn't you?

Summary: We Are Witnesses
Review: We Are Witnesses is a book containing the diaries of five young children that lived during the holocaust. The diaries tell of how these children dealt with all of the madness going on around them. Some of the diaries broke off early in the beginning of the story. Some diaries lasted quite a while. All of the stories told of how scared these poor children were during some points of time. The diaries tell of how horrifying it must have been for all of them.

Summary: We Are Witnesses
Review: We Are Witnesses: Five Teenagers Who Died In The Holocaust is written by Jacob Boas. We are witnesses is a book of diaries of five jewish teenagers. The five diaries belong to David Rubinowicz, Yitzhak Rudashevski, Moshe Flinker, Eva Heyman, and Anne Frank. The book tells you what the teenagers thought and felt. The book takes you through the life of the teenagers during the Holocaust. All the teens were waiting for liberation from differnt country. Yitzhak was waiting for liberation from the Russian army and Anne was waiting for the D-Day team. Some of the teens had some one special who they cared about Moshe with his secret girl and Anne with Peter. Liberation never came for any of the teens. The liberation was only days after there death. The teens all died in a concetration camp, some were exterminated, others died of sickness or hunger. This book didn't really reach me like I thought that it would. I think there was to much narriation and not enough from the veiw of the teens. Over all it was a so so book.

Summary: We Are Witnesses
Review: When I picked up this book and thought I would be reading experts from the dairies of David, Yitzhak, Moshe, Eva, and Anne but I was wrong. I belive that the book had to many narriations and really didn't see it through the eyes of the teenagers. The book was informative but it lacked the feeling of the Holocaust. The book did tell of the deaths of the teenagers but it did't bring out the feelings that I expected. Over all it was an so so book.
