Although I didn’t truly like the ending because of all the deaths, I thought it was all around a good book. I believe that she wouldn’t have made it without the snow boots through the death march. Under Hitler and the Nazi’s rule, there are times where everything could have happened differently. They had smart thinking, a lot of luck, and courage to make it through a lot. Gerda wouldn’t have made it, if her father didn’t tell her to wear the snow boots. When all of Gerda’s friends started dying, it kept me thinking how lucky she was to get thought everything. The ending of the book turned into a love story meeting her future husband and becoming free on her birthday was like the highlight of the book for me. It was very surprising to see her escape on the death march; at first I didn’t think she had enough courage. I am really touched reading this book, opening my eyes to how hard it was living though the holocaust. I think this is one of the best books I have read and I gained a lot of knowledge.
