5.0 out of 5 starsSurviving Hitler
By tailin on December 13, 2006
Format: Library Binding
Imagine urinating in the same cup you eat in. Imagine feeling fleas crawling all over you and sick people coughing on you. It doesn't exactly sound pleasant but that is the lifestyle the concentration camp prisoners had to go through. The book, Surviving Hitler, is a memorable and sad memoir that focuses on The Holocaust during World War 2. The book has a moving story, and a powerful message that has truly put a different perspective in my eyes on how crule people can be and how understanding people have to be.

This book is about a boy named Jack, who is a very fortunate Jewish boy living in Europe. Jack and his family move in with his uncle who lives in a nearby town. Jack's father stayed behind to get organized and then he would meet up with them after. He had to close up his shop, sell his place, and pack up the big furniture. Unfortunately, before he could meet his family he was put into a concentration camp. Three years later Jack is working and supporting his mom and little brother while his sister, Jadiza, goes to their Aunt and Uncles house to help them with aetheir new baby. Hitler's soldiers invade the town they are living in and later group all the Jewish families into the town square to send them to concentration camps. Jack gets separated from his family and starts a whole different life in the concentration camps. He learns to survive on his own and take what he can get. It is a very rough experience for him, and you have to read the book to see the outcome.

I really enjoyed how the author put black and white photographs in this sad but true story because it really helps you imaging the living conditions back then. The structure of the book is not terribly long, making it an easy read.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsA Real Eye Opener
By Tammy on June 16, 2002
Format: Hardcover
This book is written for anyone who wishes to learn more about concentration camps and conditions during World War II in general. I had been taught the factual information and read the famous Anne Frank novel, but this book was a real eye opener. I had no idea how well planned the concentration camps of World War II really were. The fact that the prisoners in most labor camps had triangles denoting their reason for being there whether they were criminals, practiced a religion Hitler opposed, or other social delinquents showed a more sophisticated system than I had fathomed. The concentration camps were a very lucrative business and it is easy to see why when the prisoners are worked all day, fed almost nothing, save the bread filled with sawdust, and rated on the worth of their labor. Jack Mandelbaum is a perfect main character. His hard work and winning personality traits make it easy to see why he managed to stay alive. He has such a positive attitude and strength unimaginable that I don't think God himself could allow him to perish in a camp. Jack's mother is a bit impractical during the war as she still wears high heels in a time when some went without shoes. However, she may have been instrumental in Jack getting his Nazi working papers that in the end saved him from being sent directly to the gas chambers. There is a bright spot in the book when Jack meets and becomes friends with another Jewish prisoner, Moniek. They help to sustain each other and are most likely drawn to each other because of their positive outlook in such a dire situation. This book would be a wonderful novel to be read aloud in a Social Studies or Language Arts class studying the war.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsConcerns about pre-teens
By Donna McKeen on September 12, 2007
Format: Paperback
I haven't read the book, but my 11 year old checked it out at school. He was hooked on the story from the beginning.
However, I was surprised when he asked me "Mom, what is a homosexual?" He said that homosexuals were singled out to be victimized. He also
was upset about how children, especially those with disabilities were tortured and murdered.
I appreciate all the positive reviews here, but it really opened up a lot of issues for my son. Might be better suited to older children.

5.0 out of 5 starsUtterly honest
By J. Latus on July 7, 2001
Format: Library Binding
This book follows a young man readers can relate to as he endures the terror of being rounded up, of being ripped from his family and then surviving in a death camp. You can smell it, you can understand his fear, you can feel his bewildered relief at surviving. Much of what is depicted is stark and painful, although it is written clearly and without sensationalism (really, the events are so sensational, they don't need to be amplified.) Even as an adult, I got a visceral, gut-wrenching feel for this boy's experience. I recommend parents read this along with their child and be prepared for important discussions. Lest I scare someone off, let me clarify that it is not too harsh for a pre-teen or teen reader. It's just bound to bring up strong feelings and discussion-inspiring questions.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery good memoir for the whole family.
By Nen on June 23, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I wanted my kids (ages 8, 10, 13, 15) to learn a little about the holocaust, and we read this out loud as a family. It's pretty heavy material, but my kids were mesmerized by the tragic story of Jack. It's such an interesting narrative, and the author did a great job of keeping it real and personal. The message of the book is one of hope and perseverance, and it gave my family exactly what I was looking for - an example of how someone can conquer a terrible situation with an attitude of determination, even in the face of so much loss and hardship.

The telling of the story is aimed at youth, and although there are hard truths in it, the book does not dwell on the negative or sensationalize any part of the story. It's told honestly and simply, and even my 8 year old was able to listen without being overwhelmed by the tragic aspect of the subject matter. The pictures in the book really helped them visualize the different things he spoke of. They made the book a little more real, and none of the pictures were disturbing or graphic.

Very well done. 5 stars.
