Authors note- I'm reading a book called Sarah's key that took place in 1942. The Jewish Holocaust was going on, which in case you didn't already know, was a huge Jewish massacre that took place in the 1940's mostly. It was run by a man Named Adolf Hitler who is still the worlds most famous dictator from Germany. For more information please go to http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001286.html
The Jewish religion has, for ages, never be truly been accepted. There has never been a Martin Luther King to stand up for them and tell the world that there is nothing wrong with the Jewish belief. Also, because of that, people are still prejudice against them and want to forgive and forget the whole event that happened in the 1940. What happened in those terrible years is something so horrible nobody could ever totally ever forget, the Jewish Holocast.
It started in Germany when the world most famous dictator, Adolf Hitler, decided to take over the world. He got innocent people from all over the world to work for him where they obeyed his every command and got whatever he wanted. His work spread all across the globe but my book specifically happened in Italy during 1942. The first few chapters take place at a young girls house, but things take a huge turn for the worst after that when the French officers come and take them away. They spend the next few days in a kind of jail except there are over a thousand Jews in there and also there is no food or drink at all. The weak ones die in a matter of maybe 12 hours, either by suicide or hunger. The strong are then brought onto a train(a rail car((used to transfer animals))) where they are ship of to who knows where. The only things that these people know for sure are that a. they stink and b. they are all going to die.
England during those horrible years of the Jewish Holocaust lost over 6 million Jewish lives, 9 to 10 million others(gypsies, the disabled, and slaves), and also killed over 5 million foreigners. You can never forgive and forget this but be forever in debt to these who laid down their lives to keep their religion alive.
You did a really nice job explaining a little bit about what happened during the holocaust and in the book, but it did get a little bit confusing when you went back and forth between info and talking about the book. Also, remember that the author's note should be italicized.
