The story also has specific characters who played important parts. The Jews where mice, Polish were pigs, and nazis were cats. I find the mice and cat connection as a good fit for the story. I know that during the holocaust how Jews were bullies, unnecessary killing, which they had no control over! It really did resemble the defenseless mice against an all might cat. The polish being pigs tho does confuse me, they don't symbolize anything special in the animal kingdom itself, maybe it's like that because cats and pigs don't have much history together.
Anyway, I did enjoy reading this book, it taught me a lot about the holocaust and how wrong it was. There were sides on the story that I couldn't imagine ever happening, especially she it came to family. And how people would betray one another for "safety", which most likely would result in a horrible death. I would recommend this book to anybody, and I feel it is a good example of how history, can be so cruel.
