Where do I start? This book is so simple and short yet so deep and meaningful. I picked this book up without knowing anything about it other than it had very good ratings. So, this book follows a young boy through his views and very limited understanding of the Holocaust with his father being a highly ranking soldier. It's one of those historical stories where you know what's going to happen just from your basic knowledge of history; however, you go through the whole story trying to deny/stop the inevitable. This story is just so emotional and innocent, it's one I'll likely never forget.
