Hana's suitcase- I cried practically through the whole thing! I agree, I like holocaust books. I cried especially at the part of Hana's eleventh birthday, which she celebrated with a candle and 3 candies. It made me sad, because my eleventh birthday was so different!

One eye laughing, the other weeping- This is a really good book. It was so sad hearing about the storys of woman throwing themselves out of windows with their baby so they wouldn't have to live like this and thing like that.

I know Holocaust books are really sad but it's History and it would be sad if we got deprived of learning about our History. They aren't specials books that you only find at certain bookstores.

Has anyone ver read Night by Elie Wiesel? We're reading it in school, and then we're writing to the author. Were having a Auschwitz survivor come to our school but the school told him to tone down the graphic content of his speech because they are afraid parents will sue because there children found it disturbing. How dumb.

There is this book called Milkweed that's about the Holocaust. Maus is weird it's like a comic book but the main characters are mice? Someone in my class was reading it and I took a look at it and it looked weird. I think it's called the Upstairs room. Elie Wiesel (sp?) that wrote Night also wrote Dawn and the Accident which I think are also about that Holocaust. Elie Wiesel is a Holocaust survivor and his dad died in one of the worst Concentration Camps, Auschwitz.
