I’ve always been very inserted in history and learning what
actually happened and why it happened. I
found this memoir to be really eye opening, as you don’t get the perspective of
the holocaust from someone who was actually there everyday. The struggle and
loss that occurred during that time is know by most but the deep connection
this story has and the amount of personal information given is heart reaching.
I don’t have any personal experience to relate to what happed to any of the
characters but at the same time I feel for them as if it had happened to me as
well. My grandmother was a young teenager during the war and had to work in a
bomb factory. No matter where you were in the work the events of the war
effected every one and if my great grandparents weren’t farmers and didn’t have
to stay to work the fields they could have very well been sent to fight in
Europe and may not have ever retuned. A lot of people aren’t here today because
they never got the chance because either a husband or a son didn’t make it and
never came home to create a family. Just
like Vladek lost
a son and Arty lost a brother he never even knew. An innocent child that had barley
taken his second breath in the world lost forever. This story is moving,
informative and inspiring, making me value everything I’ve had and will receive.
