Milkweed: A Novel

Ok..My opinion isn't very solid here(because I remember reading it..but I don't really remember what it was about..) but I think I thought it was kinda conufzzling..or maybe I just thought it was weird?

I thought this was a really good book to read because Milkweed is a historical fiction book about the Holocaust and the Jew's sufferingd in Poland. Misha Pilsudski (Misha Milgrom) is the protagonist in this book and he was a boy with no knowledge of who he was or who he family was. Living on the streets, he only survived by stealing food from others. He meets a group of boys and they become a little family living in a barbershop at night and trying to survive by day. He then met a little girl named Janina and they became so close that he considered her his sister. When the Germans took all teh Jews to the ghetto, Misha wished he was a Jew (he was a gypsy) so he could be with Janina and her family. When they were all living in the ghetto, he used his small body and his quick feet in order to sneak out of the ghetto evry night and bring back food for himself and the Milgroms alongside a man with a group of orphans who he has also considered family when they all lived in the otehr side of the ghetto. Through all the hard struggles and lost hopes of survival, Misha ends up being the only survivor out of all his loved ones (as far as he knew) of the holocaust and came to America to start a new life. But it was his story of surviving the Holocaust as a gypsy/jew which made the book so compelling.
