More Research and Study

After finishing Sarah's Key I started another book about the Holocaust. The book was The Mascot. Unlike Sarah's Key this book is non-fiction. And when they say life is stranger than fiction this book proves it. Starting with a Jewish boy that became the mascot of Nazi soldiers to finding a half-brother he never knew existed. If you want to read something truly incredible and filled with great history read The Mascot.

With that book now finished I'm reading a book called Neighbors. Hitler was so intent on ridding the world of Jews he was at first very successful. In Poland many, many of the Jewish communities were completely wiped out. If you were to travel to the places where these communities used to be and asked around about the Jews who lived their before World War II chances are not many people, if any, would remember them and be able to tell you about them. How sad for so many people and their history to be almost, if not completely destroyed!

Imagine, this: People are trying to wipe out the history of the Holocaust. Wiping out this history would not only erase the history of something so tragic but also erase the memory of so many people that shouldn't be forgotten. This should never happen.
