So finally I have read the book that inspired the name on top of this blog. And I must say that it was as good as they said. It allowed me to laugh, but it also made me cry. It made me feel all sorts of things and brought me to a lot of thinking. It reminded me why books are still so relevant to read. And also, that reading is very much travelling and maybe best of all, understanding others and also our selves.
One thing that I kept thinking is that this book showed the Holocaust in a very different way than when I saw the remains of Auschwitz. Auschwitz was horrible. So horrible that I could not comprehend all the evil that had taken place there. In Everything is illuminated it was made so concrete. It was felt on a deeper level.
