The book is quite long yet quite fast and you won't be able to put it down.<br /><br />Take my advice- read this one next.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804852612278609374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-5303724199285787332011-07-16T00:53:44.145-06:002011-07-16T00:53:44.145-06:00Night by Elie Wiesel is a very intense and very go...Night by Elie Wiesel is a very intense and very good book.<br />I also recommend:<br /><a href="http://www.books.e-oswiecim.pl/i-was-doctor-mengeles-assistant.html" rel="nofollow">I Was Doctor Mengele's Assistant</a> - The memoirs of Jewish physician, former prisoner of Auschwitz, who lived and worked at crematoria and gas chambers at Auschwitz. He was eyewitness of mass murders, who every day contacted and spoke to SS killers, and knew the most important camp secrets. <br /><a href="http://www.books.e-oswiecim.pl/halina-birenbaum-hope-is-the-last-to-die.html" rel="nofollow">Halina Birenbaum. Hope is the Last to Die</a> - Born in Warsaw, Halina Birenbaum has lived in Israel since 1947. She is a writer, poet, and translator. She was ten years old when the war began. She lived through the Warsaw ghetto and the camps at Majdanek, Birkenau, Ravensbrück, and Neustadt-Glewe, where she was liberated in 1945. Her memoirs, which she was prompted to write by the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem, are shocking, authentic, and candid.krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794547986874118397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-48892131289127801002011-07-07T10:46:28.268-06:002011-07-07T10:46:28.268-06:00I keep saying it, but I REALLY need to read The Bo...I keep saying it, but I REALLY need to read The Book Thief...Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-23979130707914658442011-07-06T22:02:04.242-06:002011-07-06T22:02:04.242-06:00I have read all but # 5 and #10 I shall have to g...I have read all but # 5 and #10 I shall have to get those!Alohahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751107425865092502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-10655495968365655802011-07-06T14:34:04.381-06:002011-07-06T14:34:04.381-06:00I'm reading a WWII/Holocaust memoir right now ...I'm reading a WWII/Holocaust memoir right now called WALTZING WITH THE ENEMY.

The Book Thief is set during the holocaust?? i am planning on reading this book during august. why am I so shocked? well it seems that my concentrated historical fiction reading has changed from 1700s to the 1940s and not by purposeful intent but by randomness of books that i am choosing to read based on mood...recommendations...read along...just because... my last few choices have been set during world war II (did not know the setting before starting to read). nothing wrong with this time period; i love it, actually. besides the 1700s, i would say the late 30s through 40s is my next favorite time period with the civil war ear the third.<br /><br />by the way, i love night by elie wiesel. i should re-read that book this summer.<br /><br />also, you should read sarah's key; a fabulous book. loved that one too. read it in 2010 (winter).ibeeeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222760102843468991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-77925650121379391002011-07-06T04:46:16.347-06:002011-07-06T04:46:16.347-06:00I loved The Book Thief and Name the Stars! :) And ...I loved The Book Thief and Name the Stars! :) And of course I read Anne Frank sometime back in school :) I think those 3 are the only books I've read that take place during the Holocaust...at least from what I can remember.Jacinda (The Reading Housewives)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11923129365106674434noreply@blogger.com
