Escape is a memoir of the horrific stories of children in the holocaust. It has seven stories about brave, outgoing, and hopeful children, David Wollowitz, Alicia Jurman, Judi Beker, Halina Litman, Eddie Weinstein, Grace Frieder, and Hanci Hollander. Each of them has a unique experience during the holocaust. One of the most unique is Judi's. Her story starts in Lithunia, where she and her family are then shipped off to a ghetto. After 18 mounths of living in a ghetto, Judi and her mom are sent to Auschwitz II-Birkenau, a annihilate for Jewish people. Judi and her mother lived with 1500 other women, until on day her mother is ordered to line up and taken to a gas chamber. Without her mother hope for her to survive Judi began losing faith in becoming free from the nazis. Judi later escaped from the Nazis just like the others.
The main connection it his book is to the history of World War 1 and the Holocaust. All of the children are a group of many who go through the pain and have to witness the death of others. It has details and facts of the main points of history during the Holocaust. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read historical fiction or about the Holocaust. Also I would recommend it to people who like short descriptive stories.
