111 Words1 Page

In the novel Daniel’s Story, a book by Carol Matas, the obvious theme is prejudice. However, it did come along with lots of loss too. You can see this throughout the book, because the story is about a first person perspective with a boy named Daniel, and his experience of the Nazis taking over Germany and killing millions of Jews. One big part of the book portrays giant amounts of killing, specifically in the crematorium in Auschwitz where “[Daniel sees] corpses of every size turning black from heat. And [he realizes] that people [he knows are] in there, that they were not just bodies but each one a human being” (93).
