Title: bad memories
Review: My grandson's teacher assigned THE ASSAULT as one of three books he was to read this term. He and I are sharing "the experience." I would say he is in the age-group to begin reading such a novel and it certainly is another way of looking at the horrors of WWII. Anton is a bit too young to be able to understand all that is going on because he is so young - but as he begins to "age" the memories begin to play a role in his life. He is truly a victim of his past and is trying to live a life in the present, but there is a constant replaying of what has happened to him. I hope my grandson and I can share some of the poignant points of this life lived so tragically. I can only imagine the memories of the holocaust victims who still dream such terrible nightmares.
