Daniel's Story Concluded
Thanks to Luke, I just read a great book that I'd never heard of before, Daniel's Story. My power went out due to Hurricane Sandy, so I got a lot of extra reading time. It's a holocaust story, so it's not a happy tale. However, it's written in 1st-person, so it gives a perfect glimpse into a teenager's life during this crazy time. The boy is Jewish and ends up being moved from place to place with his family. It starts off in Germany, where their early treatment is cruel but bearable. It only gets worse as they are moved to a ghetto and then work camp. It's tough to imagine at times, but this book is definitely worth it if you're interested in Holocaust history or just like historical-fiction in general. Give it a shot and thank Luke! Now, I've got to pick a new book. Any suggestions?

ReplyDeleteI also forgot to say that if you go to Washington D.C there's a museum called the holocaust museum and there is a part called Daniel's Story remember the children and my family and I had to go through that part because the full thing was finished and we didn't get tickets so we went through that and I really liked it. I recommend if you ever go to Washington D.C you should go through the Holocaust museum.
