I have always had a small problem with the basic premise of this story. There were very few children in Auschwitz and it seems impossible that one could visit an unprotected part of the fence every day. Nevertheless this is a well told story from a nine year olds perspective and reminds me of books I read as a child such as "I am David".


It's a well crafted tale that make me think that maybe we should all tell our stories from a childs perspective.
