This book captures the struggle and the horror of the Holocaust. This book is very interesting, and shows you what it was like to live during the Holocaust. This book made me feel emotional, and it made me want to know what would happen on the next page. The ending was happy however it made me angry to see how much the characters suffered and lost. I recommend this book to people wanting to learn more about what it was like during the Holocaust, and I recommend it to people who like books based on historical events. I also recommend it to people who have enjoyed other books written by this author. I rate this book 5/5.
The War Below
By Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch
The Nazis took Luka from his home in Ukraine and forced him into a labor camp. Now, Luka has smuggled himself out -- even though he left behind his dearest friend, Lida. Someday, he vows, he'll find her again.
But first, he must survive.
Racing through the woods and mountains, Luka evades capture by both Nazis and Soviet agents. Then he meets up with an underground army whose members are fighting Nazis and Soviets alike. But the desperate rescues and guerilla raids put Luka back in the line of fire. Can he persevere long enough to find Lida again or make it back home where his father must be waiting for him?
Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch, author of Making Bombs for Hitler, delivers another action-packed story, inspired by true events, of daring quests and the crucial decisions we make in the face of war.
