 Interesting learning February 13, 2008
For any teen studying the Holocaust and reading Diary of Anne Frank, this is a great read with interesting teens.
 Good Short Stories November 29, 2007
"Happy day" that is the last entry in David's diary." This is the last statement of a young boy whos life came to an end during the Holocaust. All we have to renember him by is his passages in his diary. However this is only ne boys story there are still 4 more to be told.
We Are Witnesses tell the story of 5 children who went threw the pain of the holoaust. The stroy is told from there diaries that they had written before there deaths. The diaries include David Rubinowicz, Yitzhak Rudashevski, Moshe Flinker, Eva Heyman, and Anne Frank.
I found this book to be very good book about the Holocaust! However on my opinion I found the book was not what I thought it was. On the front it has the words "Five diaries of teenagers who died in the Holocaust." However when i read the book I found every paragraph they wouuld put about 3 quotes from their diaries. When I picked up this book I thought that it would just be quotes from their diaries. However this book still got the point across that at that point in time even some would have wanted to be dead they have to go through one more day of pain.
So far, so good June 6, 2007
I recently bought this book and I've been reading it during my lunch break at work and so far I'm very interested and it seems like I can't stop reading it! I will probably take it home with me on the weekend and just finish it. It's sad to know what kind of things happened to little kids like them, and at the same time it's amazing to see how they were dealing with their terrible reality and how mature they were for being just kids during this horrible time in History.
I highly recommend it!
Very good April 5, 2007
I decided to actually read this book after taking Boas' History of the Holocaust course and finding out that he was in fact born at the Westerbork transit camp in Holland, so I figured that since he had a connection with it through his family that he would know how to put together a well made book. And I was correct, this book made me cry, I really liked it. He had talked a little about this book in class and at first it kinda seemed boring, but I'm glad that i didn't listen to my gut feeling and actually went and checked it out. I would recommend anyone that wants to read more of a first hand experience to read this, the letters are very heart touch and sad. I am trying to track down the other books he has written so I can get a little more understanding in addition from what I had learned through his course.
Book=Very GOOD! April 2, 2007
I thought this book was very good and descriptive in what happened to the teenager's lives and the victims of the Holocaust. It was sad to know how well-off Americans in the U.S. and other fortunate people had it then. When I was reading, it was sad to picture how hard it would be then for not just teenagers but everyone,especially when they talked about how they didn't want to die yet and the shame and humiliation they felt as jews. I liked how Boas described their lives and events so well that I didn't feel I missed out anywhere. I also liked how he would compare the teenagers lives and choices with the others. But I would have liked it more if he would have described more about what the Nazis would do to the victims after they were transported. Otherwhise, I liked this book very much.
