I picked this up from a friend who recommended it for a quick read. When I saw the Oprah label on the front, I almost put it back. Those are not typically the type of books I enjoy. However, due to the small size and interesting subject matter I decided to at least start this one. I am glad I did. This tells the true story of the holocaust from the viewpoint of a teen who lived through it. Interesting detail on how humans when put into such an abusive situation move from optimism, to disbelief, finally to an almost animalistic survival. In some ways this story was too short and I wanted to read more, in other ways, it was way too long and it hurt to read more. I highly recommend this one. 8/10
