A review by ironi
The Violin of Auschwitz by Martha Tennent, Maria Àngels Anglada
5.0
I want to apologize to this book. I didn't pick this book up today because I thought it would be a good day to read it. I picked this book up today because I am one book behind on my book challenge and I wanted something short I'd be able to read in less than an hour. At 115 ebook pages, that was it.
I'm blown away. The Holocaust has always been a subject that has fascinated me. It seems that no matter how many books, pictures, diaries, and works of art I see, I still find it hard to grasp that it actually happened, that humanity let this happen, that not that long ago people lived like that and experienced that and no one did anything (not no one, sorry, the majority).
Each time I read books like this, it brings it to life, which is so so important. It's important to understand that people like Daniel aren't fictional. It's important to understand that the events described aren't exaggerated, they happened.
This book is amazing. Music and art are so powerful. I can't even word my thoughts about this book because I'm so amazed. It's been a while since I've read a book that hit me as much as this book did.
You felt for Daniel. I was rooting so much for him. The way he was written was wonderful. I normally don't like translations but this one was great, it felt natural.
I'm not doing a good job of describing how this book affected me so I'll just tell you all to read it cause it's amazing.
