Summary: Gutwrenching and fascinating
Comment: I'm a passionate reader of Holocaust books. I just happened to see this when I was in a bookstore one day - once I started it, I had trouble putting it down, and when I put it down, I had trouble not thinking about it. The stories are absolutely gutwrenching and are an insightful look into what children who are put through horrific circumstances think and feel, and how they survive. Anyone who is interested in the Holocaust, or in child psychology, should read this book.

I also agree with the other reviewers that it is inspiring to learn about giving, caring people who were willing to put themselves out in order to save children they'd never laid eyes on.

Summary: Heartfelt, and gut renching
Comment: I was shopping one day and this book caught my eye, and being a shopaholic I purchsed it, and expected it to be mediocre at best, expecting it to be like every other book I read about the holocaust-sad, bringing tears to my eyes at every turn of the page. While this book was extremly sad and did bring tears to my eyes it was also inspiring. It showed through bad times when one thinks the total human race is turning into heartless machines there are good people in this world who will reach out and help children and save them from the awful events that took place during Hitler's reign. This book is a great read that will make one's heart melt for the childrn seperated from their parents, and happy at the same time because they lived a relativly healthy/safe life. These people's stories makes you want to reach out and help evey child in need during hard times. I could not put down this book and i would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Unbelievable
Comment: I can't get this book out of my head. It has managed to invade my thoughts on a daily basis and show up in my dreams at night. It is shocking and appalling that such an event could occur - parents having to say goodbye to their little children. I have children of my own, and reading this book made me almost ill with sadness and horror. The heartache and misery endured by the Jewish people is beyond comprehension - it utterly boggles the mind.

First-person narrative history is perhaps the most interesting history to read; the individual accounts are so emotional that you want to reach into the page and lend comfort. This is an excellent book that deserves a special place in the holocaust library. It should also be read in schools.
