Blatt’s account of his childhood in Izbica provides a fascinating glimpse of Jewish life in Poland after the German invasion and during the period of mass deportations of Jews to the camps. Blatt’s tale of escape, and of the five horrifying years spent eluding both the Nazis and later anti-Semitic Polish nationalists, is a firsthand account of one of the most terrifying and savage events of human history.
I had a lot of expectations for this book since I like a lot holocaust books especially about people telling their tell of how it was surviving the holocaust but this book didn’t live up to my expectations.
I don’t know what it is about this book but I couldn’t finish it because it was so torturous for me to read it.
The writing style was very off-putting because it was like very very heavy even for a book about the holocaust. Even the school books have better writing style than this book.
The plot here is all over the place in this book. Because first its talking about the main character being a jew and hiding the fact and working at a warehouse where German officers would store their motorcycles and then the next second the plot is talking about the person’s penis swelling up. Like were is the connection there ?
This book is very uninteresting and boring. And if you are looking fir a good holocaust book then this book isn’t for you.
Well I don’t want to be too harsh about this book because its a Memoir about someone’s experience under the holocaust. So this review will be very short
I Give This Book 1 / 5
