I thought when Gerda had to be checked every two months for tuberculosis would be a very hard life to live. If she had tuberculosis, they would send her to Auschwitz. You would never know if you were going to live or die. The death march would have been hard to walk in the freezing cold and snow. It just seems horrible. I like backpacking even though I have a fifty pound pack on my back. We only walk 20 miles or so on a weekend trip and I can eat and drink when I want too. The death march just seems hard because every one is dying around you and you have to walk for your life. Barely any food or drink and freezing temperatures. Overall this was a good book. It is amazing to me to see how others have had to live and what they have had to go through.
