Surviving Hitler by Andrea Warren

I never meant to read this book.  I reserved it thinking it was a completely different book that my mother recommended.  But it was a short read and was a Honor Book so I thought I would give it a try. 
And it was well worth it.  It's a true story of a rich,12 year old, Polish boy who fights all odds and survives the consecrations camps.  He lied about his age and gained entrance into the camps, and then meets a friend who teaches him how to survive.  This is a very heart warming story that will make you cry.
