the book that I am reading is called The Girl Who Survived. In the begging of the book it starts to tell you were they live and what they did for fun. The first chapter just tells about her grandfathers house and the second chapter is about her family. Her brother Mendek took the place of his sister Mila. He took it by going to the concetration camp and not letting her go to it. So he had gone to nine camps through out the war. One time he was in Flossenburg, a concentration camp in the oberpfalz region of Bavaria, it was established in March 1938 and liberated in April 1945. 96,000 prisoners passed through Flossenburg and approximatley 30,ooo people died there. It tells you about how she had to go and get food and sneek it back into the ghetto. hen if you got cought then you would br killed on the spot. She had to go through snow to her knees. Then it tells you a bout the work that they do in the camps like it tells you what they do when they get there. when they get off of the train there is a german guy that woyuld be there and he would put people into two lines, one line was to the gas chambers and the other one was for the people that were to work until they died. Kids were suposed to go to the gas chamber and not go to work but the german guy sent her to work and she was happy because she went there with here sister so that she had someone there that she new but, they really didnt talk as soon as they were there for a couple of days.But she survi ved an her sister died. Then later on after they all got out she was with this girl that saved her life and then her cousin found her and took her to her brother and from there they continued to find more and more of there family
