Christeen Concepcion- Jacob's Rescue book review.

Jacobs Rescue is a touching story about a young boy named Jacob. Jacob has to go into hiding because he is Jewish. In the years 1938-1945, some type of dicrimination was going on towards Jews and other small groups of people, this was moslty towards the Jewish people. There was a man named Adolf Hitler, he started the whle thing. Hitler blamed Jews for war, finance problems and other major issues. Eventually Hitler began killing all of the Jewish people, therefore that is the reason why Jews had to go into hiding. Jacob and his family lived a happy life to themselves. Jacob and his sibling went to school every day like normal kids. When the Jews found out about the murders, and discrimination, Jacob a nd his siblngs had to stop going to school. After a while the family had to move out of there apartment and live with another family. This was risky because since there was dicrimination against Jews, anyone that was cought helping a Jew go into hiding was killed also. The family took care of Jacob and his family, untill one day they were almost cought, so they had to leave. After a couple of months in hiding, jacobs brother eventually passed away. Then Jacob had to find a way to survive. Jacobs family is torn apart, his mother was takin his brother ha passed, now all that was left to do is find a way to survuve. After all of the commotion in Germany, the U.S. decides to step in and help fight off the German Soldiers called Nazi's. Eventually after the war ends, Jacob has to find someone from his family to help take care of him. When I read this book I was touched by what this young boy has to go through to survive and live his happy life. I would recomend this book to people who enjoy learning and reading about the Holocaust. Jacob's Rescue is a must read. If you love to learn and read about the Holocaust, than you will love this book.
