book review written and read live on bookshow by Maggie Perkovich on 29th Jan 2015
This is yet another heart breaking story of a
family torn apart
by the Germans as they entered Romania and removed all the
Jewish Families and sent them to
Concentration camps. It started with rumours
which many disbelieved until they were taken to live
in Ghettos, then sent on
trains on which many died of thirst and overcrowding and the final
destination
a concentration camp, first Auschwitz then Buchwald. There Elie
sees his father beaten to death by
Guards, his mother and little sister
taknen away to die in the gas Chambers. He suvives at thirteen
with memories
of such horror that only by relating it can he begin to live again.
His one
aim that no one should ever forget this inhumanity that took place now seventy
years ago.
Searing and disturbing. Maggie Perkovic.
