No Pretty Pictures Blog 5

No Pictures ends in an amazing way. Anita and her little brother end up surviving the concentration camps they were in. When the war ended, Anita was fifteen (when it started she was 5). Her mother and father also survived. When it all ended, the whole family moved to Sweden to recover at the end of the war, then they came over to America. The sad part about the ending that I didn't like was that on day when they were in Sweden, they received a letter from the sister of their Nanny, Niana, and the letter had said that Niana had died from a brain tumor. Although Anita was very sad, Niana had also sent her a present for Anita, which was a doll. 

I can connect to this book because on the Holocaust Museum Field Trip, the man who let my group through the tour was also a survivor like Anita. He was even the same age as her when the war started. Both stories have things in common to what they experienced with the Nazis while they were kids. This has nothing to do with this but the field trip was a lot of fun and I learned lots. Thank you Ms. Belkov!
