It was difficult for every nation but horrific for Jews. One feels for the tragedy of little children caught up in evil forces over which they had no control. The character,Magda is touching as the outsider who cares for Hansel and Gretel. All the comments just add to the story..one

I could not put the book down and am shocked that anyone thinks the author makes light of the Holocaust. I am holding the book for my next generation and want them to read this story and several others I have since purchased. I have read this book.

I do not feel she "trivializes" the subject of the Holocaust at all. I have read the book and had to put it down several times because of the horrific events Murphy described.

One part was so graphic and my teacher didn't want the whole class to read it together so she had us read that part indivually and she read with a small group and she started to cry.

I don't think that it was inappropriate to write based off of the Holocaust because it is an event that did occur, so now all we can do is learn from it.

I read it in less than two days, I couldn't put it down! I feel the author did a wonderful job of showing us the horrors of war and the holocaust. I felt she showed us the worst and best of people in horrific conditions. I found the book riveting. I read it in less than two days, I couldn’t put it down!
