I read this book as a 7th grader and I still remember small details of this book. I have read several books about the holocaust, but never from the perspective of a Christian or on the subject of forgiveness. This book made me cry, it made me see many things different, and it made me grateful for the things I have.

I've learned about WWII atrocities ad nauseum and keep saying I will not read another war book. This first person account of some very brave people is however another story that must not be forgotten.

A must read classic that everyone should read. Deeply moving
