The Devil's Arithmetic refers to the evils found in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany and the fragility of life. There are rules to stay alive, if they are kept you will see tomorrow. This book is heralded for its storytelling and has received the "National Jewish Book Award" and is deemed a "Puffin Modern Classic" right alongside Charlie and the "Chocolate Factory" and "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry". I would recommend this to anyone needing another World War II book to read. I wouldn't say it is the most impactful World Ward II book I have ever read but that is just my opinion. It is a short and a quick read! I would compare it to The Boy in The Striped Pajamas. It follows this young girl named Hannah, she is Jewish and she complains that all they ever do during their holidays is "remember". She is transported to the year 1941 is a small Jewish town in Poland, and she learns why it is so important to keep this story alive and to continue remembering. Great book.
