Though this is a work of fiction, it very easily could have been non-fiction, and it is important that the world as a whole never forget the holocaust.
Read. This. Book.

Big warning to parents, this might be an especially hard read for you. It had me absolutely weeping for the entire last chapter, but I have no children. Trust me when I say it will hit harder if you do.

While The Book Thief was a masterpiece, this is so simple and powerful. The way it is written holds you and doesn't let go.
Just wow.
