Please, read this book.

I read this book in 8th grade for school. I'm thankful for the exposure then, to the raw and tragic realities of the holocaust. Now, close to 15 years later, those realities break me in new ways. Elies story and words are important marks of history, history that we cannot repeat but I fear we will. His story is one that may challenge others to help stop us from ever forgetting the victims and survivors of Hitler's regime, or repeating the mistakes of those who stood idle and watch culture shift towards hatred and bigotry.
