The Girls of Room 28: Friendship, Hope, and Survival in Theresienstadt Audiobook

" About 1/4 of the way through, I called it quits. I was hoping for a more engaging read, but because the writing style doesn't really allow you to connect with the characters, it felt more to me like I was reading a chapter in a history book. "

" I liked this book as much as one can "like" a book that involves Jewish children living through the holocaust in a concentration camp. It is very realistic and deeply moving as much is written from the girl's diaries including poems and drawings. "

" An objective but not depressing account of the lives of girls ages 12-14 living in a ghetto outside Prague. I liked the use of diaries and letters intermixed with quotes from those living when the book was written. "

" The story of the girls' reuniting after the war wasn't told in too much detail and I would have liked to read more about that, but otherwise this was a great book about the power of friendship and of art and culture in times of adversity. "

" I usually enjoy World War II memoirs, but I couldn't get into this one. Did not finish it. "

" Friendship, Hope, and Survival in Theresienstadt told by the few young Jewish girls who survived the camp in the WWII. "

" Since I read "The Lost Wife" I thought this might be interesting... to find out more about Terezin (Theresienstadt). "

" Wonderful insight into a small group who survived the Holocaust. "

" Interesting. I learned a lot about Theresienstadt, which was different from the rest of the 'camps.' It was definitely a 'model' camp and was used for propaganda. It was somewhat difficult to read because it jumped from person to person and I never knew just who was who! "

" I feel a bit guilty saying this book was boring, but this book was BORING!!!! "
