The Survivor of the Holocaust
3 journalers for this copy...
Plan to read and release.
Finally read this book. Although I found it interesting, my reading was interupted many times by other books that I needed to read more quickly and by a need to read something light and fun. This book was a little hard to take sometimes because of the awfulness of all that the author experienced as a young teenager trying to survive the Nazi regime in Warsaw, Poland. On the whole, I found the book to be encouraging because the author did miraculously survive and the book reminds me how important it is that people be committed to doing what is right and resisting evil.

Journal Entry 5 by purple-pixie from Nuneaton, Warwickshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, July 22, 2008
I could never say that I had enjoyed reading a book with this subject matter, but I got a lot out of it. I don't know whether it's my current mindset but I just felt dispair that such terrible events could occur in such recent history and in so-called civilised societies. I have read many accounts of the Holocaust, many of them written first hand, so the subject matter isn't new to me, but the feelings it provoked were just so extreme.
Caught last week! Thanks purple-pixie!!
