So far, this book has been a real revelation to me . It has really shown me how horrible Auschwitz was, and the kind of things that people had to go through. When the author was talking about how the police were beating children with truncheons, I was slightly freaked out. Also, I didn't know that the Jews weren't allowed to have their valuables. Of course, i am very interested in the book, and I do want to read more... But i do hope that the story gets slightly less graphic.

I agree with you, the story is pretty graphic.Some details that are given are good but a lot of them go a little overboard.I also think that it is very interesting and I am wanting to read more.
I was wondering what happened to all the houses of the Jews, were they sold or what? It's horrible that they were hitting the kids with the truncheons, it's like the people who were hitting them had no contience. It's pretty scarry to think what it would be like to be put in that position.
I was thinking about the same thing as you. But i think that the story has been told for real. I see it as more of biography then as a story. I just wanna take an hour and finish the book.
I also can't believe that anyone would beat a child. It must take a really sick person to do something like that. I understand that to fully appreciate the horror of the Holocaust you have to know those details, but sometimes I wish that they would be left out.
