I have to correct some history here from earlier reviews. Hannah Senesh didn't join the US Military. She went from her native Hungary to live in the British Protectorate territory of Palestine, which is today Israel and Jordan.

This is a great book about a brave Jewish girl, Hannah Senesh grew up in Budapest while Hitler's influence. She was a good and hardworking student when she was young. She left her home when she was 18 and moved to Palestine to study. Later in 1943, she joined the British Air Force to rescue Allied pilots and Jews, include her mother. At last, she was captured by the Nazis during a missions and was executed. After i read this book, i felt that Hannah Senesh was brave, and i felt sad to her execution.

Rating: - great book
It tells about the life of a Jewish family during World War II, and how they had to leave their home. Hannah joined the U.S. Army a few years later after they left Norway. I read this when I was in fifth grade, and I've remembered it ever since. It had a big impact on me, and now I'm an eleventh grader and I still find myself reading it every now and then. I recommend this book to everybody!
