Samuel Hiller and Number the Stars.

Samuel Hiller was a boy that was born just before the holocaust. He was one of the 1.5 million children that lived in Cracow, Poland. His mother one day got word that the Germans where going to send all the Jews in the ghetto to the death camp. He and his mom managed to get out of the Ghetto, but not his dad. His mom set up a Christan woman to take care of her two year old son, Samuel. She sometimes would come out of hiding to come and see him; but one day a German noticed that she was a Jew and they killed her in the street. His dad was sent to a death camp and died in the death camp in 1944.

We just finished a book called Number the Stars. It was about the holocaust. But the people weren't real people from the past. I loved that book. It was very good and exciting. This book is about a family of four, and their best friends where Jews, so they helped the family to Sweden. I would say I think everyone should read this book. It is by Lois Lowery. She is a very good author. I would recommend this book to everyone over the age of ten.
