Helpful Score: 1

This was an easy read because it reads like a novel and not a history book as some books seem to do, but it was a difficult read because of the obviously heavy subject matter. I was moved to tears several times as I read, and while I didn't want to sit in public crying, I didn't want to put the book down either - I finished this in just a couple of hours. I don't think I've ever read a book that was so small but so powerful. I'm holding on to this one. I think it's one of the most moving first-account Holocaust stories I've read, and I agree with others here - this should be required reading in high school classes.
