I haven't read this book in probably at least 25 years. I want to give it to my son to read and decided that I wouldn't mind a re-read.

This book stands up, especially when you consider the target audience. It makes this tragic part of human history a little more digestible for young people. It doesn't shy away from the atrocities that were occurring in Europe during WWII, but it isn't graphic. It explains what happened in a way that is personal and small-scale, yet in a way that you understand that situation would've been just one of countless experiences.

I can't wait to share this with my son and talk to him about it.
