Review # 1 was written on 2018-04-19 00:00:00 Kirk Webb A voice from the holocaust is a book about the holocaust..... obviously. This book is about a girl named Eva Nussbaum Soumerai who is a Jewish girl from Berlin, Germany. Her family consist of Her father, mom, her brother named Norbert and Eva. Their story beings with them in Germany in the early 1930's right before Hitler comes to power. Everything in the life is normal and they are happy. Her father is a manager at a comforter factory, and her mother is a stay home mom and her and her brother both go to school and live a average German life. Well all of this changed once Hitler became chancellor of Germany. He stripped the Jewish citizens rights and made the Jewish workers get fired from their jobs and any Jewish person who owned their own business were shunned and everyone was told not to buy from them. Eva's father got fired and was forced to try and find a job in another place and her mother was forced to get a job to provide for their family. It still was not enough they had to sell all of their furniture and belongings just to keep their water running. Eva and her brother were kicked out of school and made to attend a Jewish school. Eva's parents knew that this was only the beginning. So they gathered enough money to send Eva to America, where she would be safe from the Nazi's. Once Eva got to America she was introduced to her foster family and they had very strict rules and were very poor. She hated it their. So once she turned 16 she decided to join the military and got sent to Britain and was used as a children's nurse, she did this till the end of the war. That's all I'm going to say because the end of the book is close. I recommend this book to anybody who is interested in the holocaust and World War II. I really liked this book but I wish their was more action, when I first got this book, I thought it was going to talk about life in the camps and how the Nazi's treated the Jewish people. No it talks about how lucky this girl was and how the war effected her and her family. All in all the book was good I would recommend this book to you Mrs. Allen.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-02-06 00:00:00 Ben Swartz I'm not really reviewing this book, I'm explaining why I abandoned it pretty early on. This book is not for me, and personally I feel it shouldn't be for anyone, but you can draw your own conclusions. I abandoned this book when it became excruciatingly obvious that Johnson was cherry-picking historical arguments to find archaeological and historiographical support for Biblical events, and reducing more than a century of criticisms of this approach to Biblical archaeology to straw man caricatures. I honestly did not know there are still historians working today who regard the Flood Tablet of the Gilgamesh epic as evidence for a historical flood. Johnson raises and then ignores the compelling archaeological counter-evidence - that major floods in Mesopotamia occurred at different times in different places. But he does not consider the equally important comparative counter-evidence - that the motif of a civilization-ending flood sent by the gods to purge a bungled humanity is a wide-spread motif, found not just among the Sumerians, Akkadians, and Jews, but the Mayans. If he had at least suggested that he was aware of problems such as this instead of relentlessly ignoring them, I would have no objection, but as it is, his fundamental posture shows itself through this and many more examples to be studiously anti-empirical and theoretically anachronistic. His analysis of Mesopotamian precursors to Moses show similar staggering weaknesses of omission. I abandoned the book when he considered the historical evidence for Abraham having actually come from Ur, without pausing to even consider the question of whether or not there was in fact such a historical personage. No one who is not already powerfully sympathetic to the historicity of Biblical events, or unaware of the last century of scholarship in this arena, could find this book persuasive. We would not entertain an astronomy book that spoke from a geocentric paradigm; neither should we accept an engagement of Biblical archaeology that ignores what we know of folklore, depth psychology, comparative religions, anthropology, and archaeology, except insofar as they lend support to its conclusions.
