The memoir that I chose to read was All But My Life written by Gerda Weissmann Klein. Klein’s memoir begins in 1939 in Bielsko, Poland, she was 15 years old at the time. The war had just begun and her family was only beginning to feel the effects. Klein’s family consisted of her brother Arthur Weissmann, mother Helena referred to throughout the book as “Mama”, and her father Julius referred to as “Papa”. The memoir starts in 1939, but the first major changes for Klein and her family do not come until April 19, 1942. The Weissmanns were moved into a ghetto and then, 18 years old at the time, Klein’s journey of survival during the Holocaust truly beings.

“For nearly 50 years I don’t and can’t speak about what has happened to me… I was silent when I was hidden and I stay silent even when I am not” (Rein Kaufman). Because the memories of her childhood were so painful, Lola did not tell anyone what had happened; not her uncle, who raised her after the holocaust, not her husband, and not her children. Lola decided to share her story in May of 1991 when she met Jane Marks, a reporter who was writing a book on hidden children. After Lola is handed the microphone at a United States Holocaust Memorial Museum reception and told, “Go ahead and talk”, she tells her story once again - but this time in public. “My silence, it seems, has been fully broken” (Rein Kaufman). Since that moment, Lola has spoken many times at synagogues and schools. Lola has shown courage and trust by sharing her story, but that wasn’t all she

I choose this book because anytime I have to read a nonfiction book, the only nonfiction books I can read and enjoy reading the book are about Holocaust for some reason. I’m not sure why though. I got it at the school library, and my friend Elaina recommend me to read this book. The title appealed to me because it

Relevance to Audience: When thinking of this brave 13 year old girl, most think of the Jewish culture, Adolf Hitler, and the Nazi Soldiers of Germany. But of us really know the pain and suffering the Jewish

The Diary of Anne Frank is a remarkably moving book about the short life of a young girl and her family. The Holocaust was a horrible time for Jewish people and Anne and her Jewish family’s lives were completely turned upside down as a result. The war resulted in the deaths of countless people, mostly innocent people. Before the invasion on D-day and the end of the war not too long after, the rest of the world didn’t know the real disaster going on over seas. Anne Frank’s once secret diary has introduced the immense suffering and horror that occurred during the Holocaust.

Gail Carson Levine was born on September 17, 1947, which makes her 68 years of age. She writes young adult literature. Levine was born and raised in New York City, New York. Her books always include magic and mythical creatures. After reading the book, I found that it probably takes place around the medieval time period because there are many princes and princesses. The genre is Fantasy. I realized this when Levine brought up all of the magic, fairies, elves, and ogres. The author uses allusions, epiphanies, and similes in the story. She uses an allusion when she writes the book and makes it

I chose this autobiography because I had read about it in many positive reviews. I also enjoy learning about the history behind World War ll and how life was for the Jewish who were caught in amongst the midst of war. It also tells a story from a child’s perspective which provides a different way of looking at the war and I can relate more easily as I am approximately the same age as Anne Frank when she began writing her journal. The autobiography is also written as a journal which is not a style of book that I am used to, which provided a challenge for me.
