All But My Life is Nonfiction
If you are wanting an all in one kind of book, then this is the one you've been looking for! No matter what kind of reader you are and what your interests are, you will fall in love with this book the same way I did. The main character, Gerda, is Jewish and during this time Jewish people were not well liked or well-treated, especially by Nazi Germany. We all know who Hitler was and the kind of Germany that he created and led. This book shows a different side of the story because it shows the impact that Hitler had in the life of a young girl named Gerda who survived the war and lived to tell her story. What I like and "don’t like" about this book is that Gerda leaves nothing out when she tells her story. She tells both the good and the bad. Some of the bad is so horrible it is hard to believe that things like that really happened, but you will have to read the book to see the horror for yourself. In spite of all of the evil, what is really great about the book is how she is able to pull you into the book and make you feel like you were right next to her. It also makes me hope that as a planet we never experience these kinds of horrors again.
