The Road To Auschwitz

I really enjoyed this book. Its about a girl named Hedi Fried. Her family was a normal family. But there was one problem. She was a Jew. One day her family was intruded at their house. Every person was ordered to stand outside for hours on their street. They were later taken to a ghetto where they were transported by train to a death camp called Auschwitz. They had to follow strict rules and watch people get taken from their families and put into gas chambers, getting shot and thrown into mass graves. They smelt the smoke and decay of the dead being burned. Hedi's parents were killed along with her many friends. Hedi and her sister Livi were the only ones who survived in her family. Later in life Hedi got married and had children. Livi died a couple of years later along with Hedi's husband.
