An inspiring and emotive story!

While reading Chapter 1, I kept thinking, "Well, this is an odd book." I had trouble getting into the "different" tone and flow of the translator's words. At one point, I even considered not finishing the book; however, I persevered and I am so glad that I did! By the time I had finished Chapter 2, I could hardly put the book down. It is beautifully written! I am 63 years old and have been interested in the Holocaust since childhood. "The Last of the Just" relates the story of Ernie Levy, the last Just Man, but also the tale of all members of the Jewish faith. This book IS different, but in a good way. It will squeeze the tears from your heart and soul. This book is not for children, but I strongly recommend it to all young adults and adults.
