Elli: Coming of Age in the Holocaust is another brilliant Holocaust story. Well brilliant in contect IYKWIM. Argh
It is written by her, twenty years later or something but she was thirteen or so at the time. I bawled my eyes out when I read it. I had to study it in year 11 and we also saw The Pianist which was a amazing (long) film.
One of my favourite books about the holocaust is a book about girls from a very religious background, who were all deported to Auschwitz... It is the story of all the positive acts of kindness they did for other people in the camps to keep their spirits up and alive.
I guess after hearing so many stories, many first hand from survivors, and my families history, which is so tragic, i liked this book as it gave me hope that although man did this to man, other people can also be better IYKWIM?
