Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Allyssa

This book is the author's telling of his experience of the holocaust. Ellie was taken as a young boy, and put into a concentration camp, along with his family. He tells of the last time he ever saw his sister and mother again. He tells of how they were treated and what they were forced to do, along with what they were forced to watch. He saw hundreds of people dying, including his own father.


I thought that this book was really good. I think that everyone should read it, because it actually happened. The author did an excellent job of recalling events that happened in his life. I read in 10th grade and liked it from the start.
