if you're looking for a quick read and sad story this is it.

If you're looking for a good book about the Holocaust this is not it.

Wir haben das Buch in der Schule gelesen und wer ist schon begeistert von Schulbüchern? Doch das Buch hat es geschafft mich so zu faszinieren das ich immer noch dran denke. Das Buch ist aus der Sicht eines 10 jährigen Jungen geschrieben und er hat natürlich nicht das Hintergrundswissen das wir über den zweiten Weltkrieg haben. Das war der größte Grund warum mich das Buch so gebrochen hat, es ist mit so einer Unschuldigkeit und Unwissenheit geschrieben das es dich ganz nah an die Tränen bringt.
