5.0

I don’t think anyone could ever rate this book as less than five stars. It has completely changed so many peoples lives and given such an insight into the life of a survivor of the Holocaust. As well as the life of the descendants that come after. It was very impactful to read again after so long. I highly recommend everyone read this book at least once if not multiple times throughout their life. It really helps to gain perspective and remember what all people are capable of if we are not careful.

Wow. I'm speechless. I'd wanted to read this for so long, and it exceeded every expectation I had. Such a raw story. Very emotional and thought-provoking. I don't understand how and why this has been banned in some places – in no way could this book ever promote n*zism in a good way. Everyone should read this; massive content warnings for everything related to the Holocaust and WW2 though. Still, very important.

This book was so sad but I loved it! I love the portrayal with animals! I liked how it wasn’t just about the holocaust but about the author and his dad’s relationship.
