The Nazi party started in Germany. This one guy named Hitler convinced thousands of people that the Jewish people were the cause of Germany's economic downfall. This hatred towards the Jews was how the Holocaust started. Millions of Jewish people died during it. This tells me that German people are maybe a bit weird. It also tells me that right now, they're still probably feeling pretty guilty. That's why no one really hears anything about them in war.
The thing that's going to stcik with me about this book is the soup scene. I'll always have that image of people from the holocaust haunting me at night. How their bodies were skeletons and their eyes looked huge. It made me think about how much I take for granted. This changed my thinking because I never thoguht that one person could do so much harm, and make so many people think a certain way. The saddest part to me was when the father gets beat because he can't let himself out to use to bathroom. The most horrifying part is the very end when he explains what it was like looking at himself for the first time after the holocaust. I got very upset when they wpuld talk about the Nazi's just beat up Jews. It amde me feel all angry inside. I was confused when the book started because I wasn't paying attention. Then the most touching part was just how dedicated the son is to his father.
