In the book it talked about how Daniel 's family went through the Holocaust as Jews.

Every time he gets on a new train it talks about what happened at that concentration camp or wherever he was at. Until at the end he is talking to the cook about what he is doing at that precise time. Daniels was 14 when he was on a train, he was on his way to a concentration camp (that 's where hitler sent all the jews). He didn 't understand why he was there or where he was going. He starts out going from Frankfurt (his home town) to Lodz. Where that 's where they moved all the Jews to a ghetto for them to stay. They stay in Lodz for three years until they get on there next train. Daniel still has no clue where he was going all he knows is there going to a work camp. Daniel didn 't believe that, he thinks that they 're gonna kill them or torture them in some way. As he is riding he brought pictures but not his photo album because he didn 't have it with him. So as he is looking at the pictures he is telling the story of how it went while he was in the ghetto. During that time he met a girl named rosa (who will be his …show more content…

I find this book very appropriate for this time period because during the Holocaust they would locate them different places and the Holocaust was during 1933-1945. As Hitler made more concentration camps he would locate more people to that place. Hitler didn 't like the Jews so that 's why Daniel had to suffer along with his family. This book matched the time period well too and the story was very accurate to the time period and what happened

When asking anyone what the Holocaust is, there is a very standard answer as to what it was. It is infamously known as the mass killings and imprisonment of Jewish people throughout most of Western Europe. What people fail to acknowledge is that there is more to the Holocaust than this “standard answer.” There have been multiple accounts of what it was like to be in the Holocaust such as the famous books The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank and Night by Elie Wiesel. The memoir A Lucky Child: A Memoir of Surviving Auschwitz as a Young Boy by Thomas Buergenthal serves the same purpose as any text about this atrocity has served: to inform the public about what truly went on in the concentration camps and beyond.

The Holocaust. A horrific crime that will live forever in infamy. More so than December 7, 1941, for it was not one day, one month, or even one year. It was far worse. It was years of built up racist hate and blind confusion unleashed in a devastating manner.
