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.

Ellery Queen

It may only had 22 episodes, but it was well worth it.

Ellery Queen was started in 1975. It's about an absent minded mystery writer who solves cases with his inspector father. The show takes place in the 40s right after World War II.

Why it only went 22 episodes, I will never know. Mom and I watch other mystery shows together, such as Psych, Monk, Magnum, PI., Murder, She Wrote but this is different. I've never been able to solve the case before the end of any of the episodes like I can in those other mystery shows.

Starring Jim Hutton and David Wayne this show is a must see for all who enjoy a good mystery.
