Review # 1 was written on 2018-12-19 00:00:00 Michael Camacho Emotional and Exciting Hide, by Naomi Samson, is a real account of the Holocaust in the point of view of a Polish Jew named Naomi. The book describes her encounters as a Jew during the German invasion of Poland. The author, who is Naomi herself, describes what she was thinking and feeling during the events of the Holocaust. This book was very well written, and provoked a lot of emotion due to the hardship Naomi and her family faced and how they coped with it. I would recommend this story to people who enjoy a quicker read, and who like historical books. This book is not very long, but it really helped open my eyes to what Jewish people had to live through during the Holocaust. This book has a good story, but it was also hard for me to follow at times. To me, it seemed like the story jumped to what had happened before Poland was invaded and did not indicate clearly when this was happening. Some parts in the story were very uneventful, so it was harder to get through, but I thought it was a good choice on the author to include these parts because it helped to show how the Jews really felt at the time. I liked how the author was very descriptive during the story, making it feel as though I was actually there since I could clearly envision what was happening. This book overall was really good and I enjoyed reading it.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-08-15 00:00:00 Peter Sheen After reading the last 2 books, particularly about the Darfur genocide, I was drawn back to Holocaust literature. I always feel compelled to learn more, to understand as though it somehow honors the victims by my knowing about it. This is a moving little memoir that exposes a lot of gray area in people and events of the Holocaust.
