The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

How do you give someone a piece of sky?

You see, people may tell you that Nazi Germany was built on anti-Semitism, a somewhat overzealous leader, and a nation of hate-fed bigots, but it would all have come to nothing had the Germans not loved one particular activity:
To Burn 


proof again of the contradictory human being. So much good, so much evil. Just add water.



So I have read  many books about Nazi Germany and every time I think about the camps , the families in there and I can not even fathom how it must have been to be there . But this book in particular stood out to me . When I read about Max ,the Jew in hiding , I could just feel him getting stripped of his dignity as a human being . It must be the hardest thing for a human being to hide , to live on other peoples mercy "JUST" so you can be alive .  I would recommend this book to everyone . Great story telling, captivating ,you would not want to set it down until you have finished reading it .
