 | A Surprising Book of the Holocaust for Young Adults! Jun 9, 2008 |
| I have to say that I was impressed with this book on the holocaust. Most of the books are quite repetitive anyway. Jack Mandelbaum's experiences are not rare but they are insightful. He learns to survive by working despite the obvious horrible conditions in the concentration camps. Jack's life in the camps were made tolerable by his friendships with other survivors. The author writes Jack's experiences objectively. The author explains that 55 million lives were killed in this war and millions more were traumatized all over Europe. My parents were children in Poland but they did not go to the camps. My mother lived on a farm without electricity or indoor plumbing. Jack went from Gdynia, POland, a charming city on the sea to the shtetl of his grandfather's village which was predominantly Jewish. Until the war, Jack was Polish but by the end, he was proudly Jewish after his experiences. He came to America and settled in Kansas City, Missouri. He has spoken in front of children in classrooms and help co-found the HOlocaust center. This book is designed for children to understand the horrors without being explicit about the Holocaust. | | |  | Fabulous! Nov 24, 2007 |
I was looking for a book to share with my children and this was wonderfully written! What an incredible testimony and may we never forget such truths!

I haven't read the book, but my 11 year old checked it out at school. He was hooked on the story from the beginning.
However, I was surprised when he asked me "Mom, what is a homosexual?" He said that homosexuals were singled out to be victimized. He also
was upset about how children, especially those with disabilities were tortured and murdered.
I appreciate all the positive reviews here, but it really opened up a lot of issues for my son. Might be better suited to older children. | | |  | NO MENTION OF 3 MILLION POLISH CATHOLICS KILLED Jun 28, 2007 |
| The author makes a good effort to be objective, but drops the ball here and there. The biggest blunder seems to be in the summary of holocaust casualties. The author left out the fact that 3 Million Polish-Catholics were butchered by Hitler. This fact is often forgotten, and very hurtful, especially to the Poles who lost someone in the Polish holocaust or "Forgotten Holocaust.". A great book to read is Richard Lukas' "The Forgotten Holocaust: The Poles Under nazi Occupation." | | | | Surviving Hitler Jan 30, 2007 |
| I recently read the book Surviving Hitler by Andrea Warren. I not only thought it was one of the most fascinating books I thought it was very well written. I had been to the holocaust museum in Washing DC and I was mortified looking at everything, but this book really put me in the perspective of the boy who was close to my age. The book got better and better as it went on, and I am usually not very fond of non-fiction books. This book really makes you realize how you can survive anything that comes at you as long as you believe in yourself. You are automatically hooked and as soon as the book is over you wish there was still more to read. I would definitely recommend this book to any person, young or old, it's truly unbelievable. | | | Write your own review about Surviving Hitler: A Boy in the Nazi Death Camps
