The first contained Elie describing the people who were in his childhood and laying the foundation of Elie and who he was. I thought that the author, the main character in the book accurately and told of his childhood. His skill of slowly guiding us from Moshe the Beadle, his faith, and his family to only the beginning of the Holocaust when the Germans moved into his town was outputted well onto the page. Also, the book revealed to me that German officers not only moved into their towns, but were kind to each and every person in the town, including the Jews. Astounding how they were so kind but only a few months later they were trying to exterminate
