Title: I Have Walked a Thousand Miles
Author: Gerda Weissmann Klein
Genre:Non-Fiction
Number of pages: 261
The book I Have Walked a Thousand Miles, by Gerda Weissmann Klein, is a very touching book, that almost made me come to tears. Through this book, you can tell the hardships that the Jews went through during the Holocaust. This book mainly focuses on a brave and strong thirtneen-year old girl named Elli, who is sent to Auschwitz with her family. She has to face many terrible challenges, such as having to work long hard hours, and was given dirty water and moldy bread to eat and drink. I would highly recommend this book for educational purposes. There is so much that you can learn about the Holocaust, by just reading this book. For example, within the first few chapters, I learned about how Elli and her family were taken from their home. Because this book is written from Elli’s point of view, this gives you a better perspective of not just what Ellie faced, but what many other Jewish girls just like her faced. I would recommend this book because by reading this book, you would have a good sense of idea, of how the setting looked, and the feelings and emotions that went through Elli. The reason I was able to feel as if I was right there witnessing everything that was going on, is because of the visualizing details. It was like having my own personal t.v in my head. Because of the visualizing details, this made me get an understanding of what was going on in some parts of the reading. In conclusion, this book was a very good read, and is worth the time and effort. You won’t be sorry reading this book. I think that it carries all of the traits, that a book should have. Since this book is written of someone that went through the Holocaust, I think that it would widen a lot of people’s eyes as to know that these events were in fact real. Well, I hope that you will give this book a chance and even recommend it to other people. Not only can this
