This is my current read. My husband asked me if it‘s not too depressing to read. I replied that it‘s deeply sad, but what depresses me now is the current situation in my country (USA). I‘m reading this book as the history it is.

“Sometimes things are lost, Max, but they are never really gone.“ I love this quote because it represents their friendship.
I would use this book in my classroom to teach about the holocaust.
pickThis book was published in 2006 and is historical fiction. Willy and Max become instant friends. Max lives in the Jewish quarter, the boys are inseparable, until the Nazis come. They take everything from Max‘s family, including the precious painting that began the boys‘ friendship. And though they promise to be friends forever, Willy and Max know that something unspeakable is coming between them and they may never see each other again.
