Surviving Hitler

By: Andrea Warren

             I think Surviving Hitler is a good book for people who like learning about World War II and what went on inside the Nazi Death Camps.  Surviving Hitler is about exactly that, a boy named Jack Mandelbaum, who is forced to work in the Nazi death camps and has to survive the overwhelming power of Hitler.

             Surviving Hitler is also about what people went through to survive.  Food was free game, and so was life. Anyone could be shot at any time for no reason whatsoever.  Mostly people had to rely on their friends (if they had any in that camp) and if they didn’t have any, either they would have to make some friends, or survive on their own.

             Surviving Hitler is one of my favorite books of all time. But there are some sad parts in it (What did you expect? It’s World War II.).  Even though there are some sad parts, there are also some happy parts in it. 

             I would definitely recommend Surviving Hitler to any person (normally 6^th through 8^th graders) who want to know about what happened “behind the scenes” in World War II.
