Prisoner B-3087

An amazing book that all should read is Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Gratz. The novel is a historical fictional book about a boy named Yanek Gruener and his childhood.





 Yanek Gruener otherwise known as Jack Gruener or B-3087 to the Nazis had a not so normal life as a kid. Yanek grew up in Krakow, Poland in 1939 which was the year World War II began. Yanek was part of a Jewish family. As everyone knows Hitler was not a fan of Jews or anyone who was different or disagreed with his thoughts. Eventually Yanek was separated from his family and taken to a concentration camp. Yanek goes to 10 concentration camps with cruel Nazi supervisors and walks 2 death marches. The novel Prisoner B-3087 is truly inspirational and teaches kids and adults to be brave and never give up which is a lesson that we should all learn. The book is also a great historical novel that is mostly true about one of the most interesting yet terrifying times in history, that is why I enjoyed  Prisoner B-3087 so much. I recommend this book to any one older than 12 since the book focuses on a strong subject.
