Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Gratz


Based on a true story by Ruth and Jack Gruener, this easy to read book is about the intolerable life of a Jewish boy during W.W. II.  Young people today think they are forced into bad lives by adversity, but compared to what this young boy went through when the Nazis forced their policy of annihilation onto victims during the Holocaust, today’s youngster have it easy.  People now are traumatized by witnessing murder.  This boy saw thousands of murders.  Now hunger can be a problem, then it was years of starvation causing deaths at every turn.  This fast paced book tells of young Yanek forced into labor and an existence in 10 concentration camps.  TEN.  Can be read in one day!  I did.  Lots of time on the road!  8.5/10.
