This book made such an impression on me when I read it as a child that, years later, I alluded to the events depicted in its opening scene--the forced entry of the Jews of Warsaw into the ghetto after the Nazis took over--in a college application essay. I am shocked that some people know nothing about the Holocaust except what they learned from "Schindler's List"; my mother bought this book for me to help make sure the Holocaust is never forgotten, and we're not even Jewish. From the extraordinarily moving scene where the reader meets an old friend who says he/she looks like someone who died in the war, and can't reveal his/her true identity without revealing too much about time travel, to the transcendent calm of the scene at the library in Israel and the sense of triumph from tragedy of the final scene, this is surely one of the most deeply memorable books in the superb and now sadly out-of-print "Time Machine" series. Order this book to see if Amazon.com can find it for you. And never forget.

The book is a good adventure book. That is the only thing I liked about it. It was not to bad. It was hard to understand and was very hard. It has things on the botom of the book that told you to turn to the other pages that is the same on the page that you are reading.
