Natasha from Maw Books Blog read and reviewed I Am a Star, Child of the Holocaust by Inge Auerbacher for the WWII reading challenge. Here’s an excerpt:
Interspered between the text is a collection of poems written by Auerbacher. Or I assume that they were written by Auerbacher – there was never really an acknowledgment or explanation of the poems – which is partly why I found the format of I Am a Star a bit disconcerting. They seemed randomly placed throughout the book. They did relate to the text though, so I am assuming they were written by Auerbacher. It’s almost as though the book wanted to be a non-fiction narrative written in verse and also written formally. I liked both, but maybe they needed to be placed into the book a bit better.
