Ind. Rdg. Post Because of Romek Post #4

1.) The most shocking part of the book I think was when David's mother and sisters died right in front of him, when the Nazi's rushed in. This is the most shocking to me because David somehow was able to slip under the couch, and the rest of them got murdered. If I was David I would have been going crazy, screaming and fighting.

2.) I think that when David got his job feeding the dogs it was one of the best parts of the books, because he got a source of food, and he got to stay away from the tough jobs that the other prisoners had to endure. I think it was smart when David used the dog food as some food for his self so he could survive. So I think that part of the book showed how smart he was.

3.) During Davids stay at Bergen-Belsen he described as one of the worst camps he had encountered. Describing it as filthy, dead people lying around, and people eating others. During his stay there he gets a sickness called typhus, which he almost is killed by the disease, so he escapes death again.

4.)I think one of David's proudest triumphs was when he one again escaped death, and survived the gas chambers even though he was sick. I think it was meant for David to survive because he went through so many life and death situations but he is somehow still here. I think David is glad he is still alive compared to most Holocaust survivors because I think that he wants to get what happened to him out of him, so the whole world will understand.

5.) I think David Faber's book Because of Romek should be read to all middle schools, high schools, and universities because it will help the the people that read understand what happened to people in the Holocaust. If they read it they would know why people are effected they way they are by it and be more appreciative that they don't have to go through what David and others went through. I also think if they read they would be more proned to stopping something like that from ever happening again. I think if more people read this book the world would be more peaceful.
