This book was a very interesting book. The Boy who dared by Susan Campbell Bartoletti was written in the time of the nazi death camps. The Nazi death camps were Hitler's way for killing the Jews in Germany. This book is about Helmuth a three year old boy which is a Jew. Helmuth doesn't know many Jews. She knows only about 3 or 4. Helmuth is totally clueless why being a Jew at the point in time was a big deal but it was at that time. They were sitting at lunch in his school. He is getting scared because people and saying hitler will be hard on all the Jews and Hitler is going to take them away. But at this time all the children and even adults didn't know that hitler was going to do. So later on in the book in the …show more content…
But before he was put into jail he was hiding away from the Nazi officers hoping they wouldn't find him. He was eventually found and after a while in jail he was convicted of treason or helping the other side of the war. So he was thrown into a cell and locked. He was so scared he lied on the floor and cried. This part of the book was really sad to me because I know all the Jews in Germany went through the same thing as Helmuth. I think this book was very relevant to history. I enjoyed this book very much because i could remember learning about the same stuff that happened in the book. When i first started reading this book i wasn't sure about it because i wasn't getting it but i started getting it and realized how good this book was. In the story Helmuth got put into the concentration camp because he spoke up because he found out that hitler was doing really bad stuff to the Jews. He was beaten in the concentration camp and was sentenced to death. In the time of the holocaust over 8 million jews died in concentration camps by gas and being starved. many jews wanted to let hitler know there opinion but if a jew sprojke badly about hitler he or she would be sentenced to death. I really like this book because it connects the history of the world
