:O This book was pure win! I loved it! Nice description! It fitted the books outline

It does! This book was so beautiful. I really like reading Holocaust books because I think they teach us a lot about human nature...Aha, this one made me cry...

~Tobi~

I felt like crying (I think, I don't completely remember) too. It also inspired me to learn German, sicne it's cool sounding, not a lot of people know it and it's simliar to the English language. What surprised me was that it's about a true even. Hitler really did that. To punish a man who'd done something wrong against him, I think he'd tried to kill him. But, sadly, it was the wrong village. Isn't that horrible?

This is an awesome book! I mean, have you ever thought about being taken from your dad and brothers in the middle of the night, being checked by weird doctors who spaek another languge, being stuck on a bus with a somewhat snobby girl, and then getting told to forget who you are and where you come from? I would have to remember my past, because that would hold the key for my future. Guys, you should totally read this book. It's amazing!
