NOTE: This is a story I wrote in 8th grade during our Holocaust unit, when we read "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. In the book, a character named Max writes something for Liesel using the pages of an old book, altering the story. Out assignment was to create our own altered book with a Holocaust themed story. This was one of my favorite projects that year and I still have the actual book that I put together. I found this story recently and it was so cool to look back on it and also see how much my writing has evolved.

SECOND NOTE: The historical accuracy in this story is 99.9% likely to be not perfect. I wanted to point this out so that if somebody notices an error (whether it be big or small) they know that I am not TRYING to offend anyone. If anyone does end up getting upset, I'm terribly sorry (and that is a genuine apology).
