Your Eyes In Stars - M.E. Kerr


Your Eyes In Stars is another holocaust novel about two friends, one American (Jessie) and one German (Elisa). When the two start an unlikely friendship, their parents are all in disagreement. Jessie's mother greatly distrusts Elisa's family, who are their neighbours, and her father is too busy manning the nearby prison to take notice. Elisa's family is very secretive, and keeps everybody else suspicious. This book is amazing!! The first part is of their lives, and the second part is their letters being sent back and forth. I definately recommend this book for its unique writing style and tale of an unlikely friendship.

Mina,

You are right. The Holocaust was horrible.

Unfortunately, the Canadian government of the time put Japanese people in interment camps. They lost their possesions and their homes. Today's government is still trying to make up to the families of these people.

there have been so many wrongs, in history. Hopefully, the world will learn from these mistakes.
