Review: Daniel’s Story by Carol Matas.

Daniel is a young boy and tells his story about his Jewish family during WWII and Hitler. It’s an emotional story because the reader is hearing from a young Jewish child’s point of view. Every story you read about the Holocaust is one story of its own. There family was living in Frankfurt, Germany. The Nazi’s took control over the area that they were living. It wasn’t long before his family and extended family were separated and endured the harsh events that the Jewish had to go through. When families were torn apart they were taken to different places all over Europe to concentration camps.

His parents, his younger sister and himself were sent to Lodz where they only got a spoon of soup and a ration of vegetables. Daniel’s mother and sister started getting sick when the Nazi started moving them from place to place. His mother finally died of pneumonia and other family members were burned to death or died from a sickness. His father was kept with the men and worked all day and only got six hours of sleep a day. His sister was taken away and Daniel thought he would never see her again.

The story goes on telling about the road work he was doing and what ever other happenings were going on and he did see his sister one more time. He wasn’t sure if any family members survived the Holocaust…as far as he knew he was the only survivor… ( )

Well-read, I thought it was a great historical depiction of what it must have been like living in the ghettos of Poland leading up and thru WWII for the young man who the story centers on. Certainly not an uplifting book but I must applaud their courage in the face of qll the horrors they were subjected to. ( )

Daniel's Story
Daniel’s Story is about a young boy and his family trying to survive the hardship of the war. The story starts off in Frankfurt,Germany. A few weeks later the Nazi’s took control of where him and his family lived. The biggest problem about it was that he was Jewish. A few months later he was moved to a concentration camp where he met someone who was apart the resistance. Well I hope you enjoy my summary about Daniel’s story.

I thought Daniel's story was really good because even thought to make a group about the nazi’s. Another fact was that he survived the Nazi rule. Another fact was that he hadn't given up hope even when his sister and mother died. I think this boy was really brave. I hope you enjoyed my summary.
