Something everyone should read
It was so beautiful and raised so many questions that are unable to be answered. It handled the holocaust in a striking way and was open and honest about the uncomfortability on profiting off of generational trauma 

Read for a second time for essay in January: I can’t recommend this book enough!!

Wow. I'm speechless. I'd wanted to read this for so long, and it exceeded every expectation I had. Such a raw story. Very emotional and thought-provoking. I don't understand how and why this has been banned in some places – in no way could this book ever promote n*zism in a good way. Everyone should read this; massive content warnings for everything related to the Holocaust and WW2 though. Still, very important.

This book was so sad but I loved it! I love the portrayal with animals! I liked how it wasn’t just about the holocaust but about the author and his dad’s relationship.
