Pickpick

I‘m shocked at just how much of this book I didn‘t remember. It was so powerful, and I remembered that. It was life altering, and I remember that. I remembered two tiny details of the actual story and that was it. I‘m so glad I read this again, and I‘m planning to listen to the audiobook over the weekend. Once is just not enough with this book.

This was true in 1944. This was true in 1986 when this speech was delivered. This continues to be true today, in 2018. It‘s amazing how many people have forgotten this...or just never actually learned it in the first place.

Texreader Great quote 6y
GingerAntics @Texreader Elie Wiesel really has a way with words. I‘m so excited to get to dig into the rest of this trilogy. I didn‘t know until a few years ago that it‘s a trilogy. I just haven‘t gotten to read the other two yet. 6y

So many amazing quotes in such a short speech. Elie Wiesel was a magician with words.

This quote from Elie Wiesel‘s Nobel Peace Price acceptance speech is quite fitting for today.

LOOK WHAT JUST CAME IN FROM THE LIBRARY!!!
Since I‘m 16 pages away from finishing a second reading of the book, I may have to listen to this to finish off Banned Books Week. It‘s only 4 hours long, so it‘s take me 2 to get through it.

GingerAntics @Linsy #bannedbooksbonanza one, lone, brave high school girl not too far from me, in Katy, TX, started a petition (that got nearly 4,000 signatures) and an after school book club when this book was removed from the libraries in her district. She even spoke in front of the school board. Now, students can check out this book from any jrh/hs library with parental permission. 6y
Texreader Whoa wait...are you in Texas?? 6y
GingerAntics @Texreader yeah...I‘m guessing you are. lol I‘m up in Dallas. 6y
Linsy @GingerAntics Yaaasss!!! I love these kind of stories! Makes me wish I was that awesome in high school. What a great role model! 6y
GingerAntics @Linsy right? I spent most of high school cowering. 6y

I don‘t remember this part of this book at all. I remember the day he lied and said he was older, and it saved his life. I remember the day he saw another child hanged and that instead of rope they used clothes line to make them suffer longer. I don‘t remember this innocent child at the beginning.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Another one that‘s sitting on my TBR pile that I really need to make time to read soon. 6y
GingerAntics @Riveted_Reader_Melissa it‘s a little book, a short read. It will fit in nicely between longer books, but it will stick with you forever. 6y
