Then…

By  Morris Gleizman

Then. A wonderful heart-warming story set back in the year of 1942. If you didn’t already know, 1942 was in the middle of a terrible time period called the holocaust. The holocaust was a period of time where the Jewish race were being scapegoated and murdered all because of one man by the name of Adolf Hitler. Then is the second  book of a three part series. It’s about 2 children named Felix and Zelda. Felix is a Jew, innocent and kind, and Zelda, a funny child not Jewish but catholic. Zelda, for the protection of Felix pretends she’s Jewish. If you have read book number one Once, you see that Felix and Zelda both escape from a moving train going straight to a Concentration or more commonly known death camp. But in Then, they stumble across a nice lady who cares and protects them, even through she knew she is in grave danger for hiding a Jew. The story then escalates from there. People start to investigate who the children are. Then Felix experiences the shock of a lifetime…
