Many, many thanks.<br />And third of all (a lot of "of all's" here huh?) of course it would be okay if you linked it to War Through Generations, I'd be very very appreciative if you did as a matter of fact :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127042690689033583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-58984954841137536202009-05-12T09:14:00.000-04:002009-05-12T09:14:00.000-04:00Serena: It is a heartbreaking book, but it's also...<B>Serena</B>: It is a heartbreaking book, but it's also hopeful in that he survived.<br /><br /><B>Toni</B>: I hope you get a chance to read it. I don't think you can forget this story; it really gives you a lot to ponder.<br /><br /><B>Ti</B>: That's exactly it. I wish he'd had a different childhood, but if he'd known something other than hardship, he might not have survived.<br /><br /><B>Julie</B>: I hope you get to read it soon. I'd love to know what you think.<br /><br /><B>Jo-Jo</B>: Thanks! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it. I think that a lot of the survivors' stories have similarities, maybe that's why people think it's all been said? Still, that doesn't diminish the importance of each survivors' story. There's always something more we can learn and the fact that it shouldn't ever happen again really needs to be driven home.<br /><br /><B>Bermudaonion</B>: Thanks! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the book. I agree it's an important read.<br /><br /><B>Dar</B>: Thanks! This would be a perfect one for the WWII challenge.<br /><br /><B>Sandy</B>: Buergenthal says a lot about the title and how when he tells people he was lucky they are taken aback. It is hard to read these books, but I think they are so important.<br /><br /><B>jessica.marie</B>: I'm looking forward to your thoughts on this book.<br /><br /><B>Staci</B>: Let me know if you read it.

It is true that everyone should learn the mistakes of the Holocaust but there can only be so many books that say the same exact thing, readers will get bored and publishers will lose money.♔ jessica.mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18224761487699875213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-73502530286168452982009-05-06T21:49:00.000-04:002009-05-06T21:49:00.000-04:00Heavy stuff man.

I feel so much pain for this guy's childhood and innocence that was lost.

In one sense, the mere act of being a child can protect us since we don't fully understand what is going on around us, but in another sense...not undetstanding makes it terrifying too.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687620527201679249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-43018903826384906442009-05-06T13:42:00.000-04:002009-05-06T13:42:00.000-04:00It sounds like an important book to read.
