Rating:  - the book missed one big point
I just received this today and skimmed over the pages. There is close to nothing about why the British flew these Jews from Palestine into Europe.

The group was also sent to help repatriate Russian soldiers from the nearby (to Roumania) Soviet border. ... Read More
Rating:  - In Kindling Flame, she sparked a fire
When I read this book, I had no idea what to expect. The assidnment was to read a book from the WWII/Holocaust period. There were shelves full, but this one caught my attention.

Rating: - An excellent story of a girl fighing for her rights
When I first read this book, I had just finished touring the Holocaust Museum in Wash. D.C and I picked this out at the bookstore. I am amazed by this book. The reader immediatly falls in love with Hannah, for her strength and courage. The reader finds themselves reading on wanting to know if she succeeds the Nazis or not. If you enjoy reading about the Holocaust, you will love this book! Thank You for reading my review.
Rating: - The most inspiring book I have ever read.
I read this book in the 6th grade and it was very heavy, but it is my favorite book. I did a project on Hanna Senesh and I learned so much about the Holocaust. I would recomend this book to anyone who needs to be inspired. Hanna Senesh was a brave young lady.
Rating: - Excellent, inspirational reading!
This biography for young adults uses the diary, letters, poetry, interviews with her mother and brother, and official documents to tell the story of Hannah Senesh. Atkinson begins Hannah's story by describing her happy life before anti-Semitism took hold in Hungary. She uses Hannah's own words to describe her need to make something of her life.
