When the Nazis invade Czechoslovakia in 1941, twelve-year-old Michael and his family are deported from Prague to the Terezin concentration camp, where his mother's will and ingenuity keep them from being transported to Auschwitz and certain death.

A Memoir of the Holocaust

Somewhere There Is Still a Sun

Sierra Nguyen

This book takes me on a journey of a young Jewish boy in the late 1930s and early 1940s when Czechoslovakia was under the control of Nazi Germany. His father was killed by the SS soldier, and shortly later, his mother, sister, and him were transported to a concentration camp named Terezi. I learned so much about what it was like being someone like Michael Gruenbaum the boy, who witnessed his friends and relatives being taken away to another, more brutal concentration camp with gas chambers, and never coming back. 

How could anything like this ever happen? What kind of people would have done this to other people?

Well, I believe the book fulfills its purposes of teaching readers an important part of history and making sure that future generations, including me, will do anything they could to never let things like that happen again.
