The book I'm reading is “Parallel Journeys”. It's based on two kids and their experience growing up on Nazi Germany. My book takes place in 1939 in Nazi Germany, specifically the Holocaust. While they were experiencing their journey, millions of jew were either being killed or put to labor in concentration camps. The events that happened in my book our similar to the events that happened in the real world because my book describes the horrors of the Nazi Germany and Nazism was a real world event, spreading through some of Eastern Europe. During this time, Germany believed that they were doing the right thing by eradicating the Jews and spreading the idea of Fascism. My book covers the experiences of two children. One of them is a Jewish girl named Helen Waterford. She did not like what the Nazi leaders were doing to her people. The other person is Alfons Heck, a young German boy who was a member of Hitler’s “master race”. He believed that the Holocaust was a good thing that benefitted the Germans. Other connections made between my book and real world events are Hitler’s Youth. Hitler’s Youth was a generation of younger kids, all members of the aryan “master race”. On page two it says, “ Alfons Heck considered himself fortunate. He was one of the millions of German children who were Adolf Hitler’s chosen people, his Master Race.” This is why the events in my book relate to historical events.
