Although the ending of the book had many deaths, i enjoyed as well as loved the ending of the book. I am in love with the way Kurt Klein, an American soldier acted in front of Gerda. Klein was nice enough to not even acknowledge all the dirt and lice on Gerda. On page 214-215 it says "He held the door open. I didn't understand at first. I looked at him questioningly but not a muscle in his face moved. He wanted me to feel that he had not seen the dirt or the lice." He was a very thoughtful man and started to frequently visit Gerda in the hospital. This led to me liking him even more. Another character that I enjoyed reading about was Frau Kugler. Kugler was a nice woman who pulled many strings for Gerda just so she would be happy. For example, she pulled many strings in order for Gerda to see Abek at the Burgberg. Another character that surprised me did not have a name. She was sent to Auschwitz and accidentally unearthed a handful of gems. She used the gems to bribe one of the guards for her life as well as two other girls on page 172-173.
