It was desperately sad and explores the many victims of war and the fact that everyday humanity still exists even in the darkest of times
It reminded me a bit of the boy in the striped pyjamas, but with more moving around and exploring contexts of the war on a wider scale and how it affected those of Hemmel street
I loved all the characters in their own unique way and l was sad to leave their story

It is a lot. But it's also not so much about rhe Holocaust, it more just about the war, its devastation and the personal story of a girl who lived through it.
It's heart breaking, of course. But there's also beautiful moments of love and friendship.
The first couple of chapters (parts? Idk, the book is organized strangely) were harder for me to get through because I didn't care about the characters much yet. But I an so so glad I stuck with it and read and enjoyed this book.
