The Girl in the Green Sweater By Krystyna Chiger

Right now I am a couple pages away from finishing this story. This book is really sad. It's mainly about Krystyna telling everything her and her family had to go through during the Holocaust. She gives really good details about where and when they moved. At one point they had to live in sewers. I think they had to live with 21 people in total, in a sewer for about a year. Water and food was also very limited because they couldn't leave their hiding place unless they wanted to get killed. Fortunately, a man wanted to help "his" Jews so he went out and brought back supplies to help them. Then one day he gets hit by a reckless Russian army truck and dies.
That is where I stopped reading. So far I think it is a really interesting book. Getting to know exactly how her surroundings were so I can get a picture in my head was cool too. She describes the smells, tastes, colors and everything. At some points I stopped to think how would it be if I was her. I probably wouldn't last living in a gross sewer being bored all day and having nothing to eat. Also seeing some of her cousins, uncles, and aunts being taken or killed right infront of you would also be traumatic. Out of the whole book I don't really like their really long confusing names. It gets hard to pronounce so I just call them something else. Anyways I hope that she and her family live.(:
