One good read

This isn't what I just finished reading, but I do have to admit that it was one great read. It was short, about 80 pages, some pictures included, but it was worthwhile. This book was about a new journalist that gets sent to France to interview a world-famous violinist. She gets told, "what ever you do, don't ask the Motzart question." Not knowing what the "Motzart question" was, she gets there and says to him, "Well since I can't ask the Motzart questions, what should we talk about." That leads him to tell his life story. He explains everything to this young-green journalist and she gets the story that every journalist could ever wish for, his exclusive explaination of the "Motzart question."

This was a great book for young people because it keeps the Holocaust memories right there so that our new generations learn about it and never let it happen again.

While reading this book, the author did a fantastic job of having you fall into the book. It was if I was sitting off in the corner listening to his whole story. I could have easily been that reporter sitting there listening as the musician explains how he began playing the violin, how he disobeyed his parents, how he helped his parents (Holocaust survivors) reunite with another survivor who was in the same concentration camp with them.

It was a heartwarming story, it was a bit of Holocaust history I was unaware of, it was wonderful. So far, this has been my favorite book I've read on the Rebecca Caudill list. I would vote for this as the winner.

Read it and enjoy!
