Journal Entry 2 Ryan Alderman

This is one of the easiset and most inspiring books that I have ever read. Gerda makes me realize how lucky I am to never have to go so something like her and her family went threw; like all the work camps and the death march which only like 100 survived. Her attitude I think is what kept her alive because she was always so opptimistic. She is such a great role model for any person young or old. I think it is so sweet of Gerda to carry around the pictures of her family; that is also why I think she kept striving to stay alive and die. Another hard part of the camps would be to know that you might not ever see any of them again.
