Welcome to Litsy!

Can't wait to read this. Just discovered world of books app that pre loved books and omg amazing bought few books now. This one missing it cover but it well loved and so pretty might flick between this and current read tonight #moodreading why not no rules here :) happy Hev 🥰🙌📕🙈

I will not call this "Aligator anything", no this is Donald's Dachau...the 1st concentration camp established by the Nazi's. They were so proud of their 1st concentration camp that they would have sold merch if they could have too.
If you're feeling hopeless, overwhelmed and like you have no control over any of this...remember calling it what it is , a concentration camp is resistance. Joy is resistance, knowledge is resistance. Resist

Hard to type through my emotions. This is a middle grade nonfiction of Gerta and Rudi's heartwrenching escapes from Slovakia. Rudi's escape from Auschwitz resulted in FDR demanding Hungary to stop transports to the death camp. They may have saved a 1/3 of the JewishHungarians. Gerta and her mother crossed Hungary's and Slovakia's borders several times to keep ahead of imprisonment. When asked how to make sure it won't happen again, BE VIGILANT.

I'm in the middle of two incredible books that are equally tearing me apart.

Promise Me Tomorrow needs to be added to the database. I'm reading it, thanks to LibraryThing.

“After all, the great joy of literature, as opposed to politics or religion, is that it embraces differing opinions,”

“We sang as we walked, all of us, singing a hundred different songs, and the Nazis let us sing. Another small mercy. Or perhaps they too missed the way the world had been before the war.”

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne tells the tragic story of an innocent friendship between Bruno, the son of a Nazi officer, and Shmuel, a Jewish boy imprisoned in a concentration camp. The novel explores themes of prejudice, ignorance, and the horrors of the Holocaust, urging readers to reflect on the consequences of hatred and the importance of seeing others as human.

“...Despite the mayhem that followed, Bruno found that he was still holding Shmuel's hand in his own and nothing in the world would have persuaded him to let go.”

This is an amazing historical book for mature readers to enjoy. I loved this book and it pairs well with a movie. It puts a young boys perspective to life.
