All But My LIfe Blog 2

This book was extremely eye opening for me and made me relize how much pain and suffering the Jewish people went through. This book was also interesting to read and kept my attention through the whole thing, which normally doesn't happen with books. I look up to Gerda because she new at any moment that she to could be killed, but she never once gave up hope and kept on trying to see the positove side of things. This book really brought the realization of how sick and messed up of a man Hitler really was and how he just killed millions of Jews just because he didnt like them. One thing that really touched me in the book is the fact that Gerda had to carry her pictures of her family in her boot and if she was found with them she would be punished severely. Something like looking at pictures of your family is something we take for granted because we are just used to such a thing where this was something Gerda couldnt do. this book really touched me and I feel almost guilty for living such a well benefited life compared to Gerda.
