Schindler's List

Remember the movie Schindler's List? Well, the book is even worse! It's very graphic in describing some of the atrocities done to the Jews during World War II. WHY do I read books of this kind?? I DON'T KNOW! I guess to remember, to not forget such important history. Actually, I listened to this book on tape - and, in spite of it being hard to listen to, I enjoyed it!

Along with that, I read So Young to Die by Candice F. Ransom, a Scholastic biography about the short life of Hannah Senesh, a Jewish girl who joined in the struggle for a Jewish homeland and was killed for her efforts. But she's a hero and it was very interesting reading!
