Daniel's Story

The book I read was Daniel's Story by Carol Matas.

This book is about a boy named Daniel who lived during the time of Adolf Hitler. Daniel and his family were Jews. Daniel's father owned a shop and it was boycotted by German's. This was just the start of all the things that happened to his family. In 1941, when Daniel was 14 years old his family was deported to Lodz, Poland to part of the ghetto. They stayed there for 3 years and had met friends and had jobs. Then in 1994 they were deported to Auschwitz, a concentration camp. After stay there for a few months, they were moved to Bechenwald, another concentration camp. There are many more adventures and sufferings they encounter. Will Daniel's family survive all of this? You have to read the book to find out more.

In this book Daniel is a fictional character, but this is about based on many real experiences that some people faced during the Holocaust. This book was published with the help of the United Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Some other book that are about the Holocaust are:
1. The Promise
2. Best Friends
3. Diary of Anne Frank
