I thought this book was so brilliant and it really made me think. How could people treat others like that? I really felt for Elli and at times I was too sad to read any further. I would recommend this to teanagers and adults as it really opens your eyes.

I first read this book at school when studying the holocaust for O-level. Now, some twelve years on, I have come back to Amazon to buy a new copy as mine has finally disintegrated from repeated readings. This book is almost too painful to read in places and conveys a real sense of place, mood, emotion and the like. I think if this book was compulsory reading for teenagers they might stop and think before complaining of their lot in life. We can all learn from Elli's courage.

This is such a sad book, telling of one young Hungarian Jewish girl's experience of the Holocaust. If you are feeling a bit sorry for yourself, read what Elli had to endure and then count your blessings.
