a review about the book Torn Thread

Torn Thread was a great book. It had so much details, I couldn'tput it down. It's about two sisters that get torn apart, then reunited. In the concentration camp they meet. When the Holocaust is over they stay at the camp, then find an apartment. They also find that their father has died. Evas hair also grows back when it gets caught inside the textile machine. She gets hospitalized for a few days. Then returns to the mill. They grow up and their daughter-in-law writes the book Torn Thread. That is my review of one of the best books I have ever read in my entire life.

Read It! It Will Open Your Eyes!

I have always been interested in the holocaust. This is the first book that I have read about this subject. It is about a girl my age named Eva who lived through the holocaust. Her father sends her to a camp where she works in a factory. There at the camp she has to learn how to stay strong and not loose hope. She has to deal with starvation, illnesess and people dying all around her. After I read this book I couldn't believe how cruel people in the world can be. I won't tell you too much more because I don't want to ruin the book. I read this book and it opened my eyes and it will open yours too.

A 12-year-old Polish girl's account of life in a Nazi camp.

Eva is too young to go to the Czechoslovakian Parschnitz camp, but her father lies about her age in order to send her to be with Rachel, her frailer older sister. Rachel has been caught in a Nazi 'selection' and sent to work in the textile factory and her father thinks Eva will be safer with Rachel than in Bedzin.Written by Eva's daughter-in-law, this story tells the privations and courage with which the two sisters survive the camp life. Eva's knitting is traded for extra food. The long lines for food, the good and bad Germans and Poles, and the terrible work conditions are all told in a factual manner, without excessive drama. The sisters endure only by sticking together.A very well written account of camp and work conditions for the Jews during WWII.

Torn Thread

I havent read most of Anne Isaacs books but this one was good. She put of details in this one. Anne organized very well. My favorit part was when the girls at the camp told Eva that the hed guard ate candy all the time. She would probably sell the kids blankets for more candy. I hope Torn Thread is a book you would pick out!

A compelling novel for young readers.

Eva has become used to life under Nazi rule in the Polish ghetto, and must face a new world when she and her sister are taken from their father and imprisoned in a Nazi work camp in Czechoslovakia. Forced to endure harsh conditions there, Eva's world revolves around keeping her frail sister alive and longing for their family's reunion. A compelling novel for young readers.
