Review
I would call this a historical fiction book because it is based off of a true story. I have always liked to read these types of books, but never learned this much about this subject. I always knew that it was a harship if you were a Jew during that time period, but nothing this bad. This book definitly changes your perspective on the Holocaust. I didn't realise that they had to walk for 20+ days in the Winter. It blows my mind that someone can do that with no food, water, and shelter. This book is definitly a book I would recomend because of its great content. If you are looking to expand your knowledge on the Holocaust then you should really read this book.
