Yellow Star

I would like Yellow Star By Jennifer Roy's book to be used in schools and educational discussions so that everyone learns the true details and horror stories from the survivors who were left to tell the world all the horror and pain that they somehow managed to get through. We all should never ever forget what they had suffer . This book is wrote in a simple plain way anyone from the young too old ,would have no problems with understanding the format it is written in.

I finished the book in about 3-4 hours, however I knew after the first 10 pages I will not read anything from Jennifer Roy ever again. The style was awful, and at some point I had the feeling that she did not enjoy writing it, didn't even try to write it properly, just wanted to be over with it.Totally disappointed.

A charmingly written story about the terrible life for Jews in the Polish ghetto of Lodz.This is the story of Syvia written by a relative many years after the events of the War. Svyia spent much of her childhood in the ghetto but she and her family miraculously survived.Jennifer Roy tells Syvia's story from her memories but in blank verse. It works beautifully.

A powerfully written true story that touches the heart and opens your eyes to the terrible atrocities suffered in WW2. Cleverly written through the eyes of a child

This was a story recalled by a child survivor of the Polish Jewish ghetto. Its author, a relative, uses a strange writing style, which fails to assimilate the rich primary source material into some sort of context. An attempt was made in the Timeline at the end of the book, but this does nothing to rescue this badly written piece of work, which is very short, and can be read in a few hours.

This book gets 5 stars from me, I couldn't put this book down. I found it heart breaking and heart warming all in one go. The survival of a family, friend's and a whole community through the eye's of a child. What more can I say but when I ever see a blown piece of dust I will think of the dust families !! Read the book and you will understand. I recommend this book to every one, we must never forget the horrors and atrocities of the second world war.

Well done the book gives an insight to the most terrifying world a child could live in. War, and the Nazi rule. Well done for capturing these terrifying moments. I would buy this book as a present in the future.

Beautifully written, this book should be read in schools to ensure that the millions are not forgotten and to prevent this happening again.

This is a good read, I liked the writing style and it was a great story told in a way that was vivid and with clarity.

One of the best books I have read!!!God bless us all.

Great explanations and detail of life in the ghetto. Well worth read. Highly recommended to someone trying to understand why!!!

Interesting read

Good book from a childs eyes. I have read a lot of books on that era but first through a childs eyes

I don't hate it, just haven't read it yet.

Such an amazing account of the atrocities that the Nazis and Germany as a whole put innocent Jewish people through! Sad but great read through the eyes of an innocent.

True story about a holocaust survivor. It is hard for us to imagine just what these brave and courageous people went through.

I read it in 3 hrs. Couldn't put it away. Almost felt like I was there, experiencing everything. Highly recommended for everyone interested in holocaust.
