Something Remains - Book Review by Rhea

Something Remains by Inge Barth-Grozinger

Something Remains follows the life of a Jewish family living in Ellwangen, Germany during the 1930's. It follows their lives, mostly of the son, Erich, during the early part of Hitler's regime. The family goes from being upstanding citizens to scum of the earth due to the Nazis. This book is based on a true story. You experience every triumph and heartbreak of the family. It makes history seem like it is playing before your eyes. Erich experiences his first love, loss of friends, bullying, and hardship in every way possible.

Like I said, this book brings history alive and mroe down-to-earth for our generation. This book grips your emotions. A great way to learn more about the Holocaust even though it isn't verbatum of your life.
