Jordan Johnson. It was about a guy named Solomon Perel who hid from the Nazis among the Nazis. He moved to Poland where he and his family thought they be safe, but the Nazis came. They then moved to Russia, they invaded Russia to. He was caught, so instead of dying he lied and said he was German. It was a long shot, but they believed him. He was then taken and put in the Hitler Youth group. He survived the whole war under a false life. I love the book and its a must read!

Samuel Morris 2nd Period 10.17.16

Title: (The complete) Maus
Author: Art Spiegelman
Number of pages: 296

Brief Summary: Art Spiegelman's Maus is a graphic novel recalling his father's life during the rise of the reich as well as the atrocities he bore witness to in the camps. Spiegelman also includes the chronology of his own experience as "My father bleeds history".

Favorite things about the book: My favorite thing about Maus, first and foremost, is it's depiction of the holocaust as a twisted game of cat and 'maus'. Furthermore, I enjoyed the inclusion of German dialogue/dialect as well as marked maps to support the plot's factual nature.

What I learned about the holocaust: While reading Maus the most prominent bit of new information I gained was that as the reich was toppled, the nazis found themselves in panics to clean out the remaining camps, doing so in a futile attempt to cover up what they were doing.

Personal recommendation: Given this book's coupling of educational and entertainment value, as well as depiction as a twisted game of cat and maus. I would recommend this book to any and everyone looking for a unique account of the holocaust.

Summary: A compilation of stories about heroic priests and nuns who saved people from the Holocaust.
Recommendation:

2016-10-17 12:59:45 UTC

2016-10-17 12:59:59 UTC

Summary:
The book is an autobiography by Rudolf Hoess, who was the commandant of Auschwitz. In the book, he hardly tell his life story as he lies constantly to make himself look better. He lies about knowing of the concentration camps, even though they were common knowledge at this point.

Recommendation:
If you like to see how the Nazi officials try to hopelessly and desperately lie in the face of justice, this is the read for you!

Isabella Stooksbury
Summary:
After a polish couples zoo was bombed, they basically convert it into a place for refugees to go, and they hid about 300 or more people in the animal cages, and communicated with them by calling them the names of animals.
Recommendation: This book was extremely difficult to read, and it was very boring so I don't think that I would recommend it.

Summary:
When her mother can no longer care for her, Liesel Merminger is sent to live with The Hubermanns in Nazi Germany and quickly finds her new family wrapped up in Nazi politics and deep secrets as they help a young Jewish man fight for his life. I recommend this book if you'd like a personal story of one family and their struggles through the war.

Summary- this story gives you a look of homosexual persecution during the holocaust. when nazis took power through most of europe, anyone considered non aryan was persecuted including the homosexuals. like the jews had to wear the stars of david, gays had to wear a pink triangle to identify themselves. in germany specifically, once a meca of gay acceptance, was now putting homosexuals in a constant state of fear for their life.

Recommendation- i recommend this book to anyone who loves history

This book goes from his early discrimination and bullying from his early school days, to later being put in Auschwitz for almost two years.

Author Name : Andrea Warren
Number of pages : 160

Brief Summary : The story of how a boy named Jack, went through the change and struggles of the Holocaust affecting first his life physically, then everything surrounding him with the happiness of his friends.

My favorite thing about the book: How it told the main character's story while tying in the factual terms and history surrounding the Holocaust.

What I learned about the Holocaust from reading the book: I learned how terrible the Holocaust affected not just the adults who had to be forced to work to death, but how progressively normal happy living children were before the Holocaust. Giving an interesting first hand experience by Jack, the main character.

My Recommendation : I recommend this book to people who like to know both about a personal experience/story of someone who lived through the Holocaust. No recommended for people who want just full on factual information about everything in the Holocaust.

By: Kaytlyn Winburn

Summary: The book tells the stories of how 9 different children in the Holocaust survived. Each child has a different experience and had major challenge to face, but none of them lost hope. One specific story is about a boy named Mathei Jackel, a 10 year old Jewish boy from Romania, who is captured by Nazis and sent on his way to a death camp. Mathei escapes the truck on the way there and runs into the woods. He is found by a man and a Partisan comes to take him under his wing. The boy is faced with challenges that no 10 year old should have to think about.

I liked how easy it was to stay engaged due to the change in stories.

I learned that a Partisan was part of a group that killed Nazis and their supporters that lived in the forests.

Recommendation: I recommend this book to anybody who likes books that share multiple stories with nail-biting adventures.

Summary: The Pink triangle was a patch given to you, just like the Jews were given the star of David, and symbolized that you were a homosexual in the Holocaust.

If you like a good short but informational book about the holocaust this is the book for you

Summary: We are given a run down from the narrator telling us all of the pros of being a pure German growing up in the 1930's. Tell us how Hitler would give you a bright future of ruling the world and that the lower class's (Jews, Gypsy's, communist)
future wasn't as promising as the German Youth

In this thrilling memoir, five women tell their stories before Hitler's regimen. In one story, the author, Isabelle Choko-Sztrauch-Galewska, describes how her parents put a lot of emphasis on education since Jewish citizens at that time rarely got accepted into Universities. She described how her father and especially her mother made an effort to make the author as cultured as possible, she learned how to play the piano at a young age and had difficulties with her french lessons. The author also stresses how she didn't realize the differences between Jewish people and non-Jewish People until Hitler's Regimen, she discussed how his dictatorship got in the way of her reaching her dream career and finally accomplishing what her mother worked for.

Recommendation: I would recommend this book to whoever enjoys reading about women's survival during war times, I really like this book because it doesn't only take into account the fact that she's a Jewish survivor but also a woman. The author puts a lot of emphasis on motherhood and sisterhood, she puts a lot of focus on education for women. In a way, the memoir touches on a lot more than the Holocaust.

Author: Fred Gross
Dylan Stewart
Summary:
The Gross family is Jewish, and they are forced to leave their home and run from the Nazis. The family travels through Europe for many years. Most days they were lucky and didn't have to worry about the Nazis, but on other days they faced bombings and risk of being caught by the Gestapo. They encounter other families on the run, get sent to a concentration camp for a short period of time, and hide from the Nazis, all while never forgetting about each other.

Recommendation: I would recommend this book to anyone who wants knowledge of what it was like to live on the run during World War II. It's a great read about a family that never gives up in their darkest time.

Author: Terrence Des Pres
By: Mackenzie Lawson
Summary: This book talks about what is means to "survive" by retaining your dignity and person as a whole. It also talks about human kind and why man does what it does. It also talks about life in the death camps, for example, how they would use peoples natural needs (food, using the restroom, etc.) against them and to embarrass and torture them.
Recommendation: I would recommend this book if your want to see a more philosophical side as to why and how the Holocaust happened, what it means to survive, and what it means to be mankind.

Survival In Auschwitz by Primo Levi
Summary:

In my story "Survival in Auschwitz" by Primo Levi, it tells the true story of the authors struggles during the WWII times, telling the events of his capture and times in the highest kill rate concentration camp, Auschwitz. On the 13th of December in 1943, Primo Levi, a man who was a chemist and identified as an Italian citizen of the Jewish race, was captured in his hiding, along with his group, and was sent to the awful conditions of the camps. In the beginning, Levi was captured by Militia companies in the middle of the night and taken for interrogation as a "suspect" of being a Jew. He admitted to being a Jew and was taken to a detention camp for further actions. He went through many things, ending up in Auschwitz. Then, throughout the story it tells what happened to him, others, and what the Nazis who ran the camp did. He also tells the stories of his duties in the camp and how he worked a lot with others in the camp. While in the camp he and others create a group, helping each other out throughout the times in the concentration camp. In the end, Nazis abandoned the camp, Soviets taking the healthy ones and leaving the rest. Is he one of them?

I would recommend this book to those of whom are curious as to how life was like from the prisoners perspective during the times of the Holocaust. It was a good book and I enjoyed it.

Liesel moves in with foster parents Hans and Rosa after her mom could no longer take care of her. When she first moves in she dislikes the house a lot but after forming a strong bond with Hans she starts liking things a lot better. She gains a love for books thanks to her neighbor Rudy. Her family hides a Jew named Max in their basement and they get lucky many times when Nazis come and search the house. Liesel becomes very close to Max and when he is forced to leave she keeps looking for him everytime she sees Nazis bring Jews down the streets.

I would definitely reccomend the book to anyone interested in the Holocaust. It's a great story and very informative about people's lives during the Holocaust even if they weren't targeted to be killed.

Yanek, a young jew in the 1930s, and his family are living a normal life until one day they realize they should be afraid of the Nazis, they "ran away" and basically ended up living on the roof of their building until one day the Nazis found them and took them into custody. They were then sent off to concentration camps without the materials necessary to live. Most of Yanek's family members aren't cooperative and are sent off to death camps, while Yanek stays behind, and eventually is also captured and sent to camps.

I really enjoyed this story and strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to read a real story about what it was like to be put through concentration camps.

Sixteen years later,a team of spies, many of whom lost familyin the Holocaust, captured him at a bus stop in Argentina and smuggled him to Israel, which resulted in one of the most important trials of the century.

I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in narrative nonfictions and wants to learn more about the Nazis.

When the attacks began he continued his work in their city apartment while his wife Sophie and his daughter stayed in there summer house in the country.

Not long later he was sent off to Mokotow Prison for 14 months for not wearing his Jewish band at the office. And the rest is his journey from the Warsaw ghetto where he starts his journey to find his family.

The Zookeeper's Wife

2016-10-18 12:02:07 UTC

By: Diane Ackerman
Alex LeBlanc
A true story based on the lives of Jan and Antonina Zabinski who own a zoo that gets bombed by The Nazis, but they manage to rescue and harbor 300+ people. In order to keep it secretive, they use animal names and empty cages to talk and "house" refugees in their zoo, which later earns the code name "The House Under a Crazy Star".

Recommendation: I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys hearing individual stories about the Holocaust that aren't military based. If you enjoyed the poetic style of writing that F. Scott Fitzgerald uses in The Great Gatsby then you will also enjoy this novel.

Dr. Nyiszli, a Hungarian Jew, is sent to Auschwitz in May 1944. Upon arriving at the camp, Nyiszli is selected by SS officer Dr. Mengele to work as a doctor in the Sonderkommando, a group of prisoners who work for SS officers in the camp for around four months until they are killed. Mengele is searching for medical evidence of German superiority and enlists Nyiszli to assist him. In this book, Nyiszli describes his experience as one of the highest-ranking prisoners in Auschwitz as well as the many horrors he witnessed during his time in the camp.

Recommendation: I recommend this book to people who are interested in learning about what life was like inside of the concentration camps for those prisoners who were not immediately condemned to death upon their arrival.

Jeff Keeling

Art Spiegelman is an American cartoonist interviewing his father, Vladek, on his experiences as a Holocaust survivor. Much of the story revolves around the events leading up to World War 2 as well as the time leading to his parents' liberation. The story also has a focus on Art's strained relationship with his father.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to learn about the Holocaust or likes graphic novels. Spiegelman's portrayal of Jews and Germans as mice and cats helps add a layer of narrative realism to the story, which makes the book great to read.

This story is a composition of multiple voices of Holocaust survivors, and an informative source that gives the reader a good amount of information about the construction of Death Camps. It provides floor plans, maps, and detailed descriptions of the rooms inside of the Death Camps. The author provides primary sources like letters sent back and forth and firsthand accounts of various events. The author does a superb job of getting the reader to put themselves in the shoes of the prisoners, and it makes this book have a good pathos appeal. A brief history of the construction of the Death Camps are detailed. The author also provides pictures of people before and after the effects of the camps.

I really liked this book because it kept my attention; The majority of the history books just throw a large amount of information at you, while this book kept it simple and short while giving the reader the information that they needed.

A memoir about Thomas Buergenthal who survived the holocaust when he was 10 years old. His mother and father owned a hotel in Czechoslovakia. They were Jewish and had German and Poland blood. They were all sent to a ghetto and then they were moved to a concentration camp called Katowice. There, a fortune teller told his mother that his son was a "lucky child," and that he will be okay in the future. The family went had to move multiple times together, as well as change camps and was separated from his mother. In Auschwitz, he was part of the death march. He has to fake his death to survive because he was suppose to go to the gas chambers many times. He is brave and works very hard.

I would recommend this book to anyone is interested in books about surviving stories in the holocaust. I really enjoyed it and it was interesting to see the pictures and seeing the reality of the book. Also, it was crazy to think that a boy his age had to go through what he did and survived. He was a very smart young man.

The story is set in 1942, where a Polish orphan named Piotr is taken from the orphanage along with other kids and examined by a Nazi doctor. Piotr has the appearance of an Aryan, and is sent to Berlin to live with a Nazi German family, where his name is changed to Peter. Peter can notice the world falling apart around him, and has to make a choice: go along with the Nazis, or with what he truly believes in. this is a decision that could cost him his life.

I can sat truthfully that I thoroughly enjoyed the book because it felt real, and I could put myself into the atmosphere of Berlin. I think the people who enjoy learning about the Holocaust will like this book, because this offers a realistic perspective of someone who lived through it.

A compilation of short stories about different priests and nuns who risked their lives to attempt to save Holocaust victims. These heroes included a priest who hid Jews in the church monastery, a nun who took orphan Jews into her care, and a pastor who hid and took care of children in his attic.

Recommendation: I would recommend this book to anyone who likes short fiction "hero" stories. The book was a little difficult to follow as it went back and forth between sounding like a textbook to sounding like an actual story, but I didn't find it very difficult to look past that keeping on mind that it is non fiction.

One of the things I learned about the Holocaust from this book is that there were not allowed to be any trees planted in the Ghettos that the undesirables were sent to.

I like this book, it has a really interesting hook that keeps you reading through entire book.

Anne Frank was a smart little Jewish girl who has had a lot happen to her. She had to start off hiding in this guys name Kruger's house with her family. It was not a life people should have to live. They had to be quite, only got to interact with her family and they couldn't even experience sunlight for 2 years. Through many of interviews and information found, Melissa tries to connect the dots and write about Anne Frank and what she has gone through.

Recommendation: I would recommend it to people interested in trying to learn more about the holocaust and to see a point of view of someone who lived through it.

Summary: This book is about a young girl that grew up as a Nazis. She spent the first 11 years of her childhood living under Hitler's rule. She basically writes a memoir on her experiences growing up as a German Nazis and being subjected to ideas and beliefs she would not have agreed to if she knew what they truly meant. As she grew older she eventually faces the harsh reality of what a true Nazi meant.
Recommendation: I would recommend this book. It is very interesting to read from a German Nazi point of view and shows that not all Nazis where just evil people, some were simply born into it.

The Book Thief - Jaycee Head

2016-10-21 13:37:38 UTC

By: Markus Zusak

Liesel moves in with foster parents Hans and Rosa after her mom could no longer take care of her. When she first moves in she dislikes the house a lot but after forming a strong bond with Hans she starts liking things a lot better. She gains a love for books thanks to her neighbor Rudy. Her family hides a Jew named Max in their basement and they get lucky many times when Nazis come and search the house. Liesel becomes very close to Max and when he is forced to leave she keeps looking for him every time she sees Nazis bring Jews down the streets.

I would definitely recommend the book to anyone interested in the Holocaust. It's a great story and very informative about people's lives during the Holocaust even if they weren't targeted to be killed.

Prisoner B - 3087

by Luke Morris

A young boy named Yanek, who is a young polish Jew who lives in Krakow, Poland who is normal kid just like everyone else, that is until the Nazi forces invade and turn his home town into what they call " Ghettos" which evacuates all non-Jews and then traps other Jews in there without proper food,water, and medicine to help them. if they do not properly work, Jewish captives are shipped off to concentration camps, which is what eventually happens to all of Yaneks family leaving him the only one left until he too is captured and sent to a concentration camp.

i loved every minute of reading this book, it showed what horrors Jews had to live and go through at concentration camps, and how ruthless and merciless Nazi's were to there captives. it shows another side to the holocaust which is truly horrifying.

A collection of stories about priests and nuns who hid Jewish refugees from Nazis during World War II.

I would recommend this book to people who are interested in the Holocaust and who enjoy short stories. Each story is super short but also informative and interesting enough to keep you reading.

Escape or Die was as really good book. The book is really interesting and easy to read. Its cool that the book includes many different stories from multiple different Holocaust survivors.

I would recommend this book if youre interested in reading about Holocaust survivors and their struggle to be safe and escape the Nazis.

The Book Thief

2016-11-16 15:12:51 UTC

By Markus Zusak
Summary: The book thief is the tale of a small girl named Liesel growing up in a small town of Germany during the duration of Hitler's rule. It tells of how she has been put up for adoption, because her birth mother could not handle the expenses of a child. From there, Liesel comes to live with the Hubermann's who have three boys of their own. There she endures verbal abuse and physical abuse from her "new mother", but all with good intent, Liesel then finds comfort in her "new father" and the books she receives/steals. The book is separated between ten parts, all involving at least one book that Liesel possessed, that in some way or another, changed her; the book is also told in 3rd person omniscient, by Death himself.

By : KayTeeonia Alvis
summary :Jack Mandelbaum was 12 years old when the Nazis invaded his native Poland in 1939. Though Jack was Jewish, his family was not particularly religious and he knew little about his religion. They lived in a city and dressed no differently than their mostly Catholic neighbors .Liberated at age 18, Jack built a new life in America. Today he is a successful businessman and a loving father and grandfather. He is also devoted to Holocaust education. He’s a very special man, and I am richer for knowing him. If I have conveyed his generosity of spirit in my book, then I have given a gift to anyone who reads it. This is a man who relishes life, a man who was an incredibly brave boy, a man who can teach us lasting lessons about tolerance, love, and forgiveness.

http://andreawarren.com/surviving-hitler-a-boy-in-the-nazi-death-camps/

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know what the life was like living in the concentration camps, this book gives great detail on what was actually happening.
