A great read
I was not aware these types of events took place during WWII. It is a fiction story written around actual events and is well worth the read. May we always remember the lessons learned during the Holocaust and try to prevent history from repeating itself.
stars kept me on he edge of my seat through the book
This book kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the book! I was so afraid for all of them, I really got into it! I was so afraid that the Natzis were going to find her journal ànd something was going to happen to the family!
Spellbounding
What an amazing account of people going to lengths we cannot fathom, to escape from Nazi Germany. Although the book is only part fiction, these characters were real enough to implore their struggles to us, the readers. Must read for anyone interested in history!
