Summary: A World War II Memoir
Review: At just nine years old, Germany had invaded Poland, in 1939, during the World War II. Poland was the home country of Yehuda Nir. By 1941, Nir's father was arrested. Soon after the Germans executed him along with many innocent people. When Nir was 11 years old, he and his mother and his teenage sister Lala, were forced to move to one country to another, disguised as Polish Catholics, to be able to survive in that dangerous period of time. One thing that I liked about this book, was that it was well described. I was able to picture most of the scenes from the book. In my senior English class, we learned how to write essays describing the scenes of out topics very well. So everyone would have an image well described in their minds of what we were talking about. This book is a good example of explaining things clearly. Although it was a sad, brutal, scary, dramatically, bloody book, it was a good reading book.
Another thing that I lied about this boo, was that it was well understanding. In the cover of the book there is a little boy (who it is Nir,) I thought that it was going to be a little kids book. When I started to read more and more I learned that it is actually a book for a more mature minded audience. Although the book started when Nir was a kid, throughout the book I learned that he wasn't able to have a normal childhood. At a young age he became 'the man of the house.' At this time Hitler was trying to conquest most of the world. I recommend this book to anyone who would like to know how life was at this time of life.
