Very moving book. Every teenager should read it, it makes you more tolerant, more understanding to other people.

This is a brilliant book but do read it first before reading it with children as the harsh reality of the Nazi treatment of the Jews in the second world war is a bit hard to take for youngsters. The ending is sad - no let -up! There is a chronological list of Hitler's decrees against the Jews from !933 at the back of the book. Very well written but children must be ready for it.

An absorbing and involving book for adults and children. Wonderful concise style. Not a word wasted as tragedy unfolds. Conveys important lessons.

This was purchased for me when I was much younger and very much interested in German history.
