This book is a definite "must read", so moving, upsetting and rewarding all at the same time.Gives you a real idea of what life was actually like for a young jewish girl during the holocaust. The story is so well written you can imagine yourself right there with her as she describes what it was like to be uprooted so suddenly form her home and the journey she faced from there on. How hard it must have been for her to survive all she did, as I think I may have given up.Again - a defo MUST READ!
