But Alicia's incredible tenacity, gutsy-ness and strength of will--exactly the things I hope myself to have, are inspiring. There are no words to really describe this book.

    <body><![CDATA[I read this in third grade, and it's easily the book that had the greatest effect on me as a child. Much more than Anne Frank, much more than any other book about the Holocaust. It was brutal, horrific, and challenging, and it opened my eyes to a whole other side of the world. ]]></body>
