The Last story, the story of Arek one of Holocaust victims that survive from Auschwitz really breaking my heart. T.T the story remind me alot the story from the boy in stripped pyjamas. Like how cruel nazi and how hard living inside the nazi concertation camps.

I am always have my heart open to read more about WWII. That's why when i saw this book, I have to requested and I am so grateful that the publisher approved. So, thank you so much for this opportunity! :)

Heartbreaking stories from the survivors of the Holocaust. GOSH! These people is so brave. Like very very brave. I just can't imagine what they've been through. I have read stories from other survivors before, but every time I read another one, then another one, I always ended up feeling so overwhelmed and feeling like a mess. It's like reading something new, like the first time. This book did that to me too. 

These stories are written in a graphic novel format, short but packed with real emotions. The way that it is told, quite simple and easy to understand, but hit right to the point. And for me somehow, the simplicity of it, is what explain a lot (I hope this make sense). It's def a really hard read but it is an important one. 

What I like about this one is that this book is suitable to be read by children, even though I think it is also suitable for all age honestly. I highly recommended for librarians, teachers, parents, or anyone really to have at least a copy at their home. I think I will get one for myself as well.
