I read this book last year and did a book review in my history class on it. This story like Anne Frank is based off of a true story of a young girl living through the Holocaust. Unlike Frank, Alicia was younger and not as fortunate to have the support of her family. Throughout most of the story Alicia traveled alone just trying to stay alive. Unlike many of the stories I previously read about the Holocaust, this story was about a girl still living in the open world and how difficult it was for her to adapt. Starvation became second nature to her. Constant hiding was her key to survival. The whole story itself seemed so surreal. To imagine a brave little girl not even in her teenage years, being able to overcome immense devastation yet continue on the quest for freedom. Miraculously Alicia escaped the Jewish destined death several times. Along the way Alicia passed on her bravery and ambition to others. I can recall receiving chills as I felt the pain, the hope and all other emotions that were evoked from the book’s excessive details. This book is an inspirational story that can restore hope in anyone who chooses to read it. Due to the powerful content of this book I believe that this will be a story that I always remember and encourage others to read.
