Reviewed by Jayceen FouillardI learned in this book it happened 1944-1945 Auschwitz concentration camp, Poland 15 year old Elie and his father were imprisoned, starved, and forced labor, his father died by starvation and illness in the camp ! I learned then back then that a lot of people had to eat Moldy bread back then which made me appreciate food a lot more but same time made me feel sad for what they went through ! Ellie was born 1928 - is now 87 years old ! They were Jews who got token away from the Nazis !
