The Girl in the Green Sweater. Very good read. I would suggest this book to anyone. The way it is told makes you believe you are there with them.

Girl in the Green Sweater. While this is a rather unusual story line, that of a family spending over a year living in a sewer, viewed from the eyes of young girl, it reads quite well. Actually, the book is riveting in several areas. The interesting thing about these autobiographical holocaust books is, that you know that the author survives the atrocities. They live to write the book. However, on the journey, you do not know how many of the family and friends make it. This young girl clad in a green sweater, knitted for her by her grandmother, looses key members of her small clan. They moved to the underground world to escape the final sweep of the Jewish ghetto that they had been living in. As they were slipping down a secret hole into the city sewer system that they would call home, Nazi trucks were moving overhead capturing the last of the ghetto members and taking them to the extermination camps. The plan to move underground could have been short sighted for the daily need for food and supplies was crucial for the groups survival. How to obtain these needs ment to send someone "above" every few days foraging for needs and risking giving up their position. One day a unbelievable thing happened, they saw a lantern light while walking through one of the tunnels, and they knew that their light was seen by the holder of the other light. They figured that the Germans were searching the sewers for Jews that were hiding there. It just so happened that the lantern belonged to a couple men that were sewer employees. They befriended the Jews and were their lifeline for the next year. The were to continually supply them with food, heat and light supplies, and other day to day needs.The bond that developed between the Jews and the sewer employee became a central theme in the book. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to get a real feel as to the plight of the Jews in the WW lI era. It read real, it read compelling, and with feeling as only someone that lived throughout the hell of Hitlers Germany could write it. I have read several of these type books, I rate this as a " must read".

Amazing story. I have read many holocaust memoirs and this was one of the most interesting. It was about about several Jews who hid in the sewer system for over a year.

Wonderful yet sad. This is such a powerful story of hope in the wake of such tragedy. As sad as the situation was the strength and love they found in each other and those helping them is an inspiration. Dear Socha the world must never forget the Holocaust and the despicable things that happened, but must also never forget the heroes such as yourself that risked so much to save as many as you could. To all these many heroes thank you and you will forever be in our hearts.

Amazing. This is one of the greatest books I have read! It is a must read for all!

The Girl in the Green Sweater. Wonderful story-telling. The author did a magnificent job! I have read quite a few Holocaust books, and this may quite simply be one of the best!

In the eyes of a child. I'm not an avid reader of books but this one I couldn't stop reading until I got to the last page in a day and wished there were more. Fascinating vivid description from the author on what took place. No accident that Krysha and others were preserved to bear a testimony that humanity will always rise up around the evils of the world. Writing was excellent as if experiencing the atrocities of the war in the eyes and heart of an innocent child. Brilliant and thanks for making me work harder to be a better person through you sharing your experience.

Sad. This book is outstanding in detail.it literally feels like you are there with the family.unfortunately i couldn't finish the book because it was so sad and horrible to think this happened.but if you have tons of tissues and ready to become very emotional its a must read.

Stand out book .. You must read it to believe it . This is such an amazing heart wrenching story that is one of a kind. Read it , you will never look at life the same .

The green sweater. Excellent book. I still struggle with people who believe this atrocity never happened. It makes me want to put them in similar conditions the Jewisjh people endured. Then I remember they survived to make the world a better place and not to repeat the horrors of the day. Then I practice forgiveness as hard as it is to do. Yet I still practice the thought. Great book

Highly recommend. A well written account of a family's struggle during the Holocaust. This book is an important memoir given that not many survived the evacuations of ghettoes, let alone survive for months in the sewer systems.

The Girl in the Green Sweater. I could not put this book down after reading the first page...This is an unbelievable story of survival....Anyone who says they don't believe the extermination of the Jews ever happened should be ashamed of themselves ...God bless the courage of those who have lived through these terrible times but have shared their stories of triumph for us....

Excellent. This was excellent. So sad yet always they had hope.

The Girl in the Green Sweater. Unless you lived it I don't believe any person alive could possibly understand the horrors of living in a sewer. Their lives were totally dependent on Socha. They survived because of their will to live and the help they received from Socha. The filth, terror, smell, hunger, cold, wet, worms and only heaven know what else lurked in the hell where they clung to life. Where were the other Sochas ? He risked the life of his entire family to help these people. Why? money? I hardly think so. This man gave the gift of life to so many only to lose his in such a tragic manner. Life is not fair. We have to do the best we can and try to have our lives count for something. I loved in the book how there were moments of laughter and happiness. This is not a bedtime story for the little ones but, it is a story which needs to be told over and over so it is never forgotten. I know I will never forget it.

What an amazing story!. I am amazed at the strength hidden within some people. To have suffered and endured such hardship and still been able to love, laugh and find good is inspirational.

The Human Spirit. This book is an inspiration to the human spirit. It is a story of family, friends and strangers brought together to show what humans are capable of ... Both the bad and the good.
