ABML 2

After everything that happened to Gerda physically, I think the hardest part for her was loosing everyone in her family. I could never imagine going through what she and then bring left with no one. Gerda was blessed when she met Kurt, having hi min her life allowed her to forget the past and create a future and move on with her life. Through out the whole book i truly thought that he rand Abek were going to get back together, but it just shows that Gerda never had those feelings for him because Kurt was her true love. After reading this book I now know why Gerda survived. The cards were in favor through this entire book. In the book there were so many times that it was just pure luck that saved her. For example the snow boots that her father told her to wear saved her life during the death march in the snow. Also when the Nazi put them in the barn to and were going to blow it but the bomb didn't start, there was just some reason that Gerda was supposed to be alive. I personally think that reason was so that Gerda could share her story with the whole world and show the world the truth about what the Nazi's did. This book really opened up my eyes and made me realize how lucky I truly am.
