Critical Evaluation:
I would rate this book a 9/10. This book has a perfect amount of suspense and drama. It shows how despite the condition you are in, family always sticks together. This book is great for people who like reading stories of those who were victims of the holocaust. It lets you feel what they felt while being captive.
