I really enjoyed reading this book because it shows you what the concentration camps and wars were like from a child's perspective. Personally, I found Yossi and Mordecai the most interesting because although they were worried about their families, they were very reassuring towards the younger children. I learnt a lot about Auschwitz through this book, like how not every single Jew went to the concentration camps for multiple reasons; they weren't capable of working, they were too young or too old, they were ill these are some of the reasons all Jews didn’t stay at concentration camps. This took place from 1939-1945 or during WW2 I found this interesting because it wasn’t a long time ago and a lot has changed since. The book has been very thought-provoking it made The Holocaust understandable from a child’s point of view.
