Prisoner B - 3087

by: Alan Gratz

Prisoner B-3087 like Refugee is also based on War. But this time it is real, and based on the story of Yanek or Jacob Gruener during World War II. It takes place in the year of 1939. He goes to Plaszow Concentration Camp, Wieliczka Salt Mine, Trzebnia Concentration Camp, Birkenau, Auschwitz, Sachsenhausen, Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald, Gross-Rosen, and finally Dachau Concentration Camp. This is a sad story of how some people were treated during WW2, all because they believed in a certain religion.

What I felt while reading this:

When I heard Alan Gratz wrote more books like Refugee, I went to the school library when I could and checked it out as I knew it was going to be out if I came later, and I was correct, there was only 1 more copy of the book left. I was lucky! But, I didn't start reading it until I was at home, otherwise I would have finished it before the Chinese New Year break finished. It was a very heavy story (scary), so I also recommend you to not read it at night if you get scared easily. Other than that, it was a very interesting book and you would get pulled into the book.
