Welcome to Litsy!

When Jack Mandelbaum was 12, he was separated from his family and endured years in concentration camps. One day the Nazis just disappeared and the hostages released themselves. He never saw his family again. This is his story.

A great read!

This is a man who relishes life, a man who was an incredibly brave boy, a man who can teach us lasting lessons about tolerance, love, and forgiveness.

I thought that this was an inspiring story that dived in depth with what happened.

Jack Mandelbaum was ripped away from his family, love, and warmth and was held at a concentration camp for three years. He was strong, patient, and never lost sight about what was important.

This book shows us the danger and the harsh living conditions that people went through at the camps. I think this book is well written and will be good in my classroom.

This book is about a young boy who survived the concentration camps during World War II

“God gave us the power to be good or evil. This is our choice. Because some pick evil, we must work together to recognize and stop it. But while we survivors may lead the change, we cannot do this alone. It must be the goal of all people. If we will join in this goal, then there is hope for humanity.”

This story was really hard for me to read honestly. I couldn't imagine experience the things that these people had to go through. However, I think that stories like these are important because they make sure that things like that never happen again. I think that older children should definitely read the story, but it won't be in my classroom.

This biography focuses on Jack Mandelbaum, who was a holocaust survivor. Jack tells the heart wrenching story of his survival. Jack was separated from his family and put through a figurative Hell. This story was really hard to swallow and I don't think that it should be in an early childhood setting. I think that this book is better suited for children in middle or high school.

“If we will join in this goal, then there is hope for humanity.”

This is super interesting to me because both of my grandparents were impacted by the holocaust. I wish I had time to read the whole thing!

Surviving Hitler by Andrea Warren is a biography. It was published in 2001. This book follows the life of a boy who was in Poland when the Nazis invaded. He was taken to a concentration camp and was moved around a lot. He survived because he was chosen for forced labor. This book tells us about his experiences.

Started this audiobook this morning. So far so good, though I need to get used to the narrator.

This NF Biography written by Andrea Warren has won the Robert F. Siebert Honor and William Allen White Award (decided by votes of Kansas school children) among other honors, and is a very beneficial book to use in LC, IR, SR, or GR. This book describes the harrowing experience a boy named Jack Mandelblaum went through for three years in concentration camps during the Holocaust, before being liberated at age 18.

This #nonfiction book about Jack Mandelbaum's experience in Nazi concentration camps was a difficult read. Because of its voice and length, this book is a great introduction to the Holocaust for middle grade readers. #audiobook

I hate not having anytime to read, at least I can listen to books when I do paperwork at work 😐
