This week my teaser is from A Lucky Child: A Memoir of Surviving Auschwitz as a Young Boy by Thomas Buergenthal:
As I reflect on this attitude, I realize that it was probably a product of selfish sentiments of a child: Until then, I had been responsible for my own life, for my survival; I could not afford to depend on anyone but myself; I had to think and act like a grown-up and be constantly on the alert against all possible dangers. But once I was back in her arms, I could be a child again, leaving these worries and concerns to her.

Wow, that sounds like quite a book! I enjoy learning more about WWII; such a sad time in our history that I hope we will never repeat.
Here's my teaser:

I try to read books on the holocaust. Will check this out too.
Teaser Tuesdays: Cold Skin by Steven Herrick
This must be a really tough book. Here's my teaser.
I read this book in the summer and really enjoyed it.
Sounds like such a heartbreaker. To think children had to live like that is horrible.
My teaser is here
Have a great week and happy reading!
This one may be a little too intense for me. But that's a wonderful teaser.
That sounds incredible....great tease! I read a lot of books about that time period...I will have to check this one out.
That sounds like a powerful book; one I would like.
Too many children were forced to see and do such awful things just to survive during the holocaust. Important books to read to be sure!
