Born in Amsterdam in 1935, Suzanne Mehler Whiteley saw the ravages of war through a child's eyes. Her memoir, written in the voice of a young girl, describes the years before the invasion of Holland, her experiences during the German occupation, her time spent in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, and her childhood afterward in Europe and then the United States.
Appel Is Forever describes in a child's words atrocities that should never be seen by anyone. Through young Suzanne's introspection, readers are invited to see beyond the history of events to their deeper meaning. We come to see how the miracle of having survived opens a child up to the potential for playfulness and even happiness, while a young girl's observations of coming to her new country remind us of both the promises and hardships of the American dream.
The author describes her experiences during the Holocaust between the ages of five and nine, in Amsterdam, as a prisoner in the Westerbork and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps, and eventually in the United States.

Appel Is Forever; A Child's Memoir
The Book was interesting. Sonia Weitz told her story about how she survived living in concentration camps during the Holocaust in WWII. Sonia wrote a lot of poetry in the book. One poem, called the Tree of Life was about her dad planting two trees in their yard when her and her sister were born. After the War was over, Sonia went back to see her house, and only one tree was alive, and she thought it was a miracle, which gave her the idea for the poem.
I don't like non fiction that much. There was too much real life sadness for me. There were a lot of words that were not English, which made it hard for me to understand.
I liked the part where the American soldier saved Sonia and her sister when the war was over. If someone likes nonfiction and wants to learn about the WWII and the Holocaust, I would recommend that they read this book.
