I really enjoyed reading this book as it provided such a human insight into the horror of the holocaust.

I second the Pianist.

Both very important contributions to the telling of recent history.

Amazing book, I’m sure it will be made into a film as well. It’s compelling to read, more so for being a true story.

The Pianist by Wladyslaw Szpilman

Yes it's a fantastic book. Must read. Agreed with PP, his guilt really comes across and is heartbreaking. The bit with the gypsies... God.
This should be must read material for GCSEs.

I read it last week and I couldn't put it down. I've been thinking about it ever since.

Does anybody have any other reccomendations along the same vein?

Very important book. The guilt he felt about finding himself part of the enforcement team to save himself is profound and utterly heartbreaking.

Yes, I really enjoyed this (agree though that enjoyed doesn’t seem the best wording)

It's a fantastic book. One of the best I've read, but make sure you have some Kleenex handy.

A truly amazing read. I was gripped by it, and found it quite upsetting in places.

ItchySeveredFoot · 31/08/2018 20:37

I finished this last week. I really enjoyed it (probably wrong choice of words but you know what I mean). It's an amazing story.
