[.ca] Greater Than Angels (ISBN 0590124986)



I don't know about this book:
Yeah, this book was very educational and historically accurate but I found myself frequently bored. This book took me a long time to read and it was under 200 pages. It was very hard to get into. Thank you.


Greater than Angels:
This book, Greater than Angels, is a very good book. It think it shows you what really happened during the Holocaust. It is very cruel that Anna, her friends and family were taken away to camps just because they were Jewish. This book is sad and you never know what will happen next. Anna also makes the book funny because of the jokes that she makes to try to make everyone laugh. You never know if they are going to get caught by the Nazis or if the will survive horrible conditions that they go through. I liked the ending because it was surprising in a way but it was also kind of sad. I reccomend this book to anyone, even if you are not really interested in the Holocaust.


Greater than Angels a great book!:
Greater than Angels is a great book especially if you like romance/adventures. It is about a young Jewish girl that gets taken away from her family during the holocaust. She is taken to some place in France where they serve watery soup and stale bread. She is then taken to LeChambon to a farm where she takes refuge. Soon the Gestapos find out she is there and she flees for her life. Luckily the Gestapos fall in a manure pit and she gets away. I'm not going to tell you what happens next because it is such a good book you are just going to have find out for yourself. This book is great I even cried a little and it is just so touching. It kind of slaps you in the face with the truth of the holocaust and that is why I liked this book.


Greater Than Angels:
This book is a very powerful book. At first I thought it was gonna be another one of those jewish WWII books that have gotten old and unfactual, but this was very interesting. Once i picked it up i couldnt put it down. Its a great book and anyone interested in the holocust should read it. GOOD LUCK GUYS!


Greater Than Angels:
Greater Than Angels was a very nice book. I didn't at first think that I'd enjoy reading about the Holocaust, but actually I enjoyed it. The book was about a girl named Anna, her family and friends that have been taken away to a refugee camps called Gurs because they were Jews. The Gestapo came to their house and ordered them to pack what they could and come with them. They were put on a train along with hundreds of other Jews. They arrived at the barracks where there were no beds, bunks, windows, nothing. They were prisoners. The barracks were very crowded, there were sixty women to each. They were given tea in old tin cans and watery soup. Anna`s brother had gone to another barracks and so had her friend, Klara`s. When their luggage arrived it was just dumped out in the mud. People got their belongings stolen and damaged. They little they had left was now in ruins. Anna told jokes, sang songs and recited poems to try and get her mind off of what really is happening. A few days later Oma died. After a year of being in Gurs, the Swiss Red Cross opened some children`s homes in Le Chambon~sur~Lignon and Anna and six others were were sent there. They had a far better life in Le Chambon than in Gurs. They were fed actual meals and attended school. Anna and Klara`s brother Rudi made false identification papers for other Jews so that they could leave the country and escape the Gestapo. They helped many other Jews and eventually they were all saved. All of the adults were sent to a Nazi death camp, but Anna and the others were freed. At the end, Anna, Klara and their friend, Peter had escaped and were safe. They didn`t tell what happened to the others. I`m just glad Klara and the others made it out safely.
