In 1980 the Bullenhuser Damm school in my city was named after Janusz Korczak, the polish doctor that is the owner of the orphanage where Mojsche and Rejsele are staying at.
In 1945, twenty children and at least twenty-eight adults were murdered in the basement of the Bullenhuser Damm.
The children of the orphanage were killed in an examination camp in Treblinka together with Korczak and Stefa, an assistant of Korczak.
Rest in peace.

This is not really my genre books but is found it really good to read and it was also a very pretty romance.

Verwarrende en inconsequent point of view. Duurde eventjes voordat ik in het verhaal zat, maar het onderwerp (Joodse Poolse wezen tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog) zorgde ervoor dat ik het tóch graag las.

This book hurt me, and I'm glad I read it.
Mojsche and Rejsele are Jewish teenagers living in the orphanage of real historical figure Janusz Korczak. Rejsele is one of the more responsible young girls in the orphanage, while Mojsche, the new kid, takes some time to get his act together and adjust to the unusual way the orphanage is run. They end up becoming friends and he falls in love with her.
Told from Mojsche's perspective, it details his life trying to find his way and staying alive, while Rejsele stays with the younger children as they are about to be deported to a concentration camp. When they eventually reunite as senior citizens at an event honoring Dr. Korczak, I genuinely cried.
With its easy style and likeable characters, this is a great book for teenages who are interested in history and mature enough to handle the tragic events of WW2.
